if they're anything like what's on my 002r or my mbox1, then: bleh.I'm not sure about the overall quality of the pre-amp section
i assume you meant a/d at least in additional to d/a...Anyone have good suggestions for a non-Digidesign D/A converter solution with quality pre-amps built-in?
i assume you meant a/d at least in additional to d/a...
need to know:
1. how many channels you need
2. what your budget is
...though if you haven't already, be sure to check out the stuff from metric halo. haven't used it myself, but have friends who own them and love them, and i'm impressed by stuff they've done with them.
d/a is important for monitoring, certainly.Heh... yeah, you know what I meant (A->D is more important to me than D->A)
add the metric halo 2882 to your search list. if you'd like, you can head over to http://www.osxaudio.com/ and search for metric halo, there are a ton of fans of their products there.I would like an 8/8 device
DP will work with just about everything. last time i used it was with an apogee unit.My software that it would have to work with is DP5
at4040 is a nice mic, actually, very capable.In my opinion microphones affect the sound far more. I started with <$100 Chinese condenser mics and when I bought an AT4040, which is not high-end by any means, the difference was night and day. I would recommend putting most of the money into mics.
I will have to physically hear the difference before I could be convinced to buy anything but an Avalon.
As you should, but don't limit yourself to just avalon. Some project may require you to use another to get the sound you want.
