24/192 > Help
« on: March 09, 2005, 09:09:49 PM »
My 722 arrives in a week or so... 

I need some help...

1 - Suggestions on Sound Card to handle the 24 bit info

2 - Really would like to find a copy of Soundforge 6.0 or 7.0

And yes you read it right...  I'm jumping strait to DVD-A

Thank you for your input in advance

I'm learning...

Am I reading correct..  Firewire as a data dump?

Open in Soundforge and go from there?

Why not192  - it is available -  does not dither well so encoding to MP3 is a pain - files are huge to download - quality is as good as it gets - any 2nd Gen DVD will play it..  that was enough for me!

yep, just firewire onto your hdd... much faster than going in realtime via a soundcard

Tim - you win for # one being answered.. 

Just to make sure - even if my motherboard is not rated 24 bit it will at least store the file in tact?

Thanks,

so you dont plan on spreading anything you tape to your 722 ever? i mean, i dont know many people who are gonna DL 4gb/hour...a 3 hour show would be 12 gb  :o, anyway, more power to ya man, im sure it'll sound great, but id be hard pressed to tell ya the difference between 24/192 and 24/96 w/ my ears (i dont even hear much of one between 24/96 and 24/48...)

It is not about spreading the music... 

I just do not like posting stuff for any jerk with a high speed connection to snatch..  I really prefered the days when taping and trading was more of a club than a public service...  you will not see many of my recordings posted but many are traded.

IMO we decrease the value of our work by data dumping....

Besides - we all work to deliver the best recordings possible, why not actually do it?

you're only interested in the 24 bit soundcard for playback, not for transfer.

M-Audio Audiophile 192 sounds like it'd be what you're looking for. I don't know if the converters are 24/192 though (to give you an analog out unless you want to use the 722 as a DAC). M-Audio's page is down right now, as far as I can tell.

you want to jump from SF to Wavelab. Wavelab 5 will burn DVD-A's as well as handle all the editing SF does.
