What would the difference in sound quality be to using a preamp before A/D conversion as opposed to running an already recored digital track out of your computer , thru the pre, and back in to the computer. Obviously the D/A summing that takes place while processing the already recorded signal would add some noise. But is it very damaging?
I was thinking the other day, why for example buy 4 Great River Pre's to record a drum set when you can buy 1, run the tracks into the computer , then individually D/A sum each track thru the pre then back into the computer. I knowthats alot of summing, fiddling with the signal, and time consuming but it seems possible.
I'm guessing this is probably just crazy talk thats not worth the damage and trouble but just a thought.
