Hi All,
So I'm about to start digitising the rest of my old cassette tapes (the ones I didn't 'archive' off to DAT 48/16 10 years ago). My original plan was to use my Tascam DA20 DAT deck as an A/D pass -through and go into my mac book pro via spdif. However, since I recently picked up a M Audio Frewire 410, I wanted advice as to whether I'd be better using the A/D converters in the soundcard and capturing at a higher bit/sample rate in the process? Would the benefits in higher sampling be offset by the poorer A/D converters in the 410?
FWIW, a lot of these are audience recordings and, as such, aren't of the highest fidelity to begin with.
Any advice welcome.
