ok, I just couldn't wait until after my pottery class, so I decided to run a quick test. 20 minutes. my rig set up in my room, recording "Remain in Light" from my stereo.
mics -> V3 -> gmini 120 via RCA S/PDIF
and V3 -> Waveterminal 2496 via AES output to a 110ohm to 75ohm impedance converter recording into Cool Edit 2000.
again, this was a very preliminary test, but, unfortunately, the results are a bit less than satisfying. I didn't even bother to invert and mix (or use EAC compare .wav feature), because there were several visible spikes and glitches in the Gmini recording.
I trimmed both files, so both are exactly the same length...
I've uploaded screen shots (and I've never posted a picture here, so hopefully this will work)...
edit: I should note that the spikes in the computer recording are me snapping in front of the mics, or closing the door as I leave the room, or something of that nature. however, the gmini recording shows many more spikes on top of the ones that should be there.
the first one is the computer recording:
this next one is the gmini recording.
hopefully it will be clear that there were some definite issues with the gmini recording. again, this was just the first preliminary test, and I'll continue to test it some more, but the first test doesn't make me too happy
I'm headed out now, so if any of you comment, I won't check it until at least 10 (eastern) oclock...
