Hi John Thanks for the response Yeah you're right about the Gina being inexpensive. It doesn't worry me excessively to have a S/N ratio of -85 as compared to -90dB, as I'm only using the analogue inputs to record the outputs of a couple of effects units and an analogue keyboard, all submixed through a relatively noisy small mixer. What does worry me is the way the noise performance keeps changing! All the figures I've quoted are with nothing plugged into the inputs at all. Perhaps it's something to do with the power supply or something in my PC? Any ideas? Regards Gareth "And the pain that burns my mind is the shout of freedom's life." - Michael Gira

That was wich goes to show you the card is great, but the software event sent us was s h i t! they should have always allowed easy manual adjustment of the gain/trim. this auto crap don't cut it. so thank goodness for 305 driver. >great, but in the last few days it's gone back up to -85ish.

[gina-users] analogue noise floor
i get a -90db noise floor on > my gina, which i consider excellent. the lucid, by the way had a floor of > -84db! not good for a dedicated unit that costs more than one gina card. The noise floor I get from my Gina's analogue ins seems to be variable. When I first got the card it was around -65dB! I sent the card back and got a new one, but it was still -65dB. As I wasn't using the analogue ins at the time, I didn't worry abut it too much, thinking I'd try and sort it out when I needed to use them. Then I installed v.3.05, and the noise floor went down to -90.3! That was great, but in the last few days it's gone back up to -85ish. Has anyone else experienced this sort of variable performance? It's making me nervous... I've also noticed that the noise performance of the analogue ins seems to have something to do with what's connected to the digital I/O. When my sampler is connected to the gina via S/PDIF, the noise floor goes up to around -80dB. Any ideas? Gareth "And the pain that burns my mind is the shout of freedom's life." - Michael Gira
