There are many ways to do what you want, but the big rule of thumb here is to minimize the number of times you are doing A/D or D/A conversions.....like you never want to go from your PC to analog out and then back into another analog in on your soundcard, that will just make it sound worse with mutiple A/D/A's.....My rig is setup like this PC -> 01V mixer -> Finalizer -> DAT -> PC, with all the "->" connections all being digital s/pdif or aes/ebu, so I have no analog conversions and stay in the digital domain....I leave the bypass active on the Finalizer sometimes if I don't want compression the first time around or want to mess around with the mixdown DAT in Wavelab first, but I tend to use the hardware effects alot more than sw plugins.....Pwoodhead said having two pc's and using the s/pdif in's and out's which is a good idea too....just for kicks, search google for "TotalRecorder", a great sound card hack. This may or may not work with your audio s/w, but TotalRecorder installs a driver middle layer so that you can digitally record whatever you are outputting to your soundcard BEFORE it leaves the soundcard....great for WMV, ASF, RAM, DVD audio ripping too
......oh yeah and while I'm at it search google for "ASFRecorder"....with that you can rip all the DnBarena mix streams to your local disk and bypass the weak B.S. microshit copy protection..... peace -los > Do most people record a tune from the hardware or PC onto DAT or CD/MD and > then re-record it back into the PC for editing using Waves etc then master > it to DAT or CD/MD using the soundcard outs once finished?? > I need to get my demos crisper and fatter.... --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
