im such a hypocrite!
« on: July 22, 2005, 05:11:58 PM »
after all the yakkin' I did about how nice 16bit can sound, and how it is hard to tell the difference w/a good upsampling scheeme...

Recently, I find that I have been listening to A LOT of 24bit recordings.  Especialy 24/96 stuff...
and when I pop on the redbook version I find it sooo uninviting.  I reserve redbook for the car only now.
:(

i'm sick in the head.
24/96 sounds so(ny) nice!

nah.

i'm a sucka for the apogee sound. 
my goal....Track2>flash tracker.
i'm just figuring out the logistics of AC first.
I may also settle for Mme in interum.  I cant afford a track2 at all.  that is part of the problem.

na...been around forever.  its super sick.

I want something completely refference class as a recorder/preamp/ad combo.
a v3 would do it I suppose, but the track2....thats a serious piece.

and I can get AC power at 1/2 the shows I tape.

I think I may get one of these myself one day...many many folks rave about MYtek both on this board and off, so though i havent heard em, i guess it is a safe bet that they are very good products

I remember asking about DACs in a previous thread and you mentioned the Mytek.  I can't recall if you said so but have you heard the Mytek Stereo96 DAC?   The literature says delivery in 2Q05 so they might be out now.  Seems like a decent unit for $1K.

problem is...no mic preamps.
the track2 has them..and they have a reputation as kicking ass...but $3500 for it.
out of my league, unless I can find a studio unloading one cheap.

look at this:  http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/fg=141/g=rec/search/detail/base_pid/180631/
short money.  ART makes cheap-ass products..but ive found that some of their stuff sounds good.  Im curious about this, i must admit.  If I could put together a good portable AC solution w/o having to spend more than 2 bills, i might consider it just for fucking around.  Probably an easy sale on in the home studio news groups should it not work out.


As for the Mytek.  I want an all in one box w/a good analog stage.
I do listen your warren and friends 24bit quite often Scott...but what was in front of the mytek?
