Looks like the dbx386 will be out of commission for the weekend...
So I have to break out the old Yamaha AD2K - this is an older, rack mount 20 bit A/D
I've been running two JB3s lately (four 16 bit tracks) using SPDIF to sync (so there is no drift in post) - I can produce one 16 bit source - but will have to truncate the other...
The Yamaha - despite being 20 bit - has a RCA/SPDIF out labeled "DAT/MD"
I am familiar with the truncation issue - so no need to rehash that...
I sort of feel I should truncate the Soundboard source - I would think the truncation artifacts would be less apparent in a tight, discrete source...vs a diffuse AUD source...
Also - will truncation screw up my clocks? Will my sources still be syncable? (instinct says yes)
