Although I have more music than I can listen to, I want to jump into the taping game. I want to start out simple with board patches(I catch a lot of small shows) or patch into someone elses rig. I am thinking about a used D7/D8 or a JB3 to start out and building from there. I have tons of questions but I will start with these couple first...
I understand that both the D8 and JB3 have built in ADC. My qustion is this, If I patch into someones rig and they have say a V3 or minime. Is the signal coming back into my D8 or JB3 digital or only enhanced since its been through their ADC or is my built-in ADC in the D8 or JB3 doing the conversion? Same question with a DSBD patch, can I safely assume that I am getting a digital signal (since it is a digital soundboard) or is the D8's/JB3 ADC doing the conversion. Is the built-in ADC on the D8 and JB3 good enough to produce recordings that I could spread to others?? I apologize if these are dumb questions but I've got to start somewhere. I've got plenty of other questions but I will start with these first.
