For my own interest, it suffices to start with this: Opamp(-->filter)-->AD-->Fast-low-latency(+big-memory)-DSP-->DA-->buffer/filter( withnot too much effect in 20Hz-20kHz) as a generality, and such high frequency, and (like I proposed) such accurate convertors that I'd be going from 5xCD sa

Hi all Since I was into synthesizers and effects, I found it interesting to have an idea about what would sound good on stage. I had amplified various mixes of (analog) microphones at (high) school, so I knew it was possible to place them and chose subtle signal improvements to make stage pl
