Re: [gina-users] analogue noise floor

1998-08-10 Thread Gareth

my gina has been giving me
 good performance on the 90db input side for two months now, which happens
 to be about the same amount of time that the 305 driver has been out.
 before that, i was ready to sell the bitch.

It's good to know that it wasn't just my imagination (about the new 
driver giving me better input noise performance).

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?

no advice really.  of course you could do all that business of rearranging
the pci card in a different slot and see what happens.  with gina it is
kinda hit miss or luck when it all works right.  my gina has been giving me
good performance on the 90db input side for two months now, which happens

 i'm always nervous about something that is an inexpensive as gina.  there
 is always a catch somewhere.  in this 85ish range you are getting in can't
 say i see that with mine, however my mackie out is about 86 or so on my
 gina so i wouldn't worry too much.  still it would be nice to see 90 with
 everything turned down eh?

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?
