Has anyone run the VX pocket with the onboard A\D?

Wondering how it sounds and how fast a cpu you need to run it without stability issues?  What are the inputs?

Do you mean the Onboard analogue section ?
I'm thinking that everyone who uses it, uses it for line-level A/D at the minimum.
Are you thinking mics, self-powered, straight into the VX Pocket ?

From the grapevine the VX ad is about as good as a D8.

Then it seems expensive just for digi-in.
It is supposed to be bit-transparent, tho'.
A lot of the Laptop Tapers like it.

How 'bout the RME pcmcia card's A/D ?

they can be hand for $150-200 on ebay and from various online musicians gear sites. not bad for 24/48 input in the field. I use one with my laptop for DAT->HD transfers.

Governor Jim McGreevey was equally disturbed about the upcoming population increase. "New Jersey cannot support all of these wookies," he said. "For starters, we don't have nearly enough kindbud. At best, we can muster up a Q.P. of some beasties, but we've not a dime-bag more."

Edit: The only difference between the v1 & v2 cards is the dongle. You can "upgrade" a VxPocket V1 to a V2 just by buying a new breakout cable from Digigram. The V2's breakout cable provides a headphone jack and I think maybe word clock.

yes to what Mirth said.

I'd love to modify my cable to eliminate everything but the coax in/out and headphone out. there's too much weight and stress on that dongle and I only use it at home!

the VXPocket's analog gain adjustments are a royal pain in the ass. it's in the driver setup, not the system mixer or anywhere convenient.

they may have fixed this in recent driver versions - i sold mine in august. but when i ran self-powered mics > VXPocket, i had a hell of a time adjusting it. and it sounded way worse than mics > M1 > SPDIF > VXPocket to me.

someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i think (if you wanted) you could just cut off whichever connectors on the dongle that you don't use.

i don't think it'd make any difference to the coax in/out that you use -

you can cut off what you don't need, sure...
