This is why I went the Pulsar route - depending on the DSP's there is SOME kind of RAM (SRAM in the case of the SHARCs) onboard. The problem is where the SRAM gets eaten up by an effect and isn't free to be programmed with more essential code (ie. Synth modules.) -pooka -----Original Message----- From: S.

Well its probably not worth it to you - do you have a need to record analog sources with unsurpassed quality and precision? If so, you'd have to shell out $2k for converters - either for those, or for some by Apogee. Producing drum and bass, I doubt you've got much of a need for them. > if we're used to vinyl with all its crackles and pops and cd's 44.1kHz > is "professional," even 48kHz is considered unnecessary... Thats not exactly a complete way of thinking about the whole issue. CD's are 44khz 16-bit but that doesn't mean that 44khz 16-bit is a sufficient representation for sound *processing*. In fact, no respectable piece of equipment does computations with only 16-bits, they do it in 24-bit or 32-bit and then dither to 16-bits at some point or another in order to get onto a CD. The Nord Modular, a virtual analog synth, computes internally at 24-bit 96khz. In fact, the Modular (which is several years old now) could probably sound a lot better with more up-to-date (cheaper/advanced) D/A and A/D's. > for $1795. i'd get a virus c with that money. mmm, tasty :) yep. t --- 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] --- 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]
