Hey everyone.... I'm looking to start a new recording studio using a Mac G4 w/Digital Performer... I'm just curious what equipment you'd recommend to start out with. (i.e. - what mixers, midi, monitors, mics, preamps, synths, etc....) Basically just looking for some different ideas for complete studio setups for starting out using the mac g4 w/Digital performer. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry Mate,
AD converter as you perfectly figured out is a device that converts the analog audio signal into an audio digital signal.The Digi 002 or the Motu 828 or any other audio interface contains an AD converter besides having any other components (like mic preamps, etc...).This is their main task, converting the analog audio signal coming from your source (microphone, guitar, etc...) into an audio digital signal so that you can get the signal into your computer and edit it. In short, the audio interfaces are basically AD converters. As you can imagine this is a crucial step, that is way I was saying that if one audio interface delivers a better quality digital audio signal the reason will surely be that their AD converters are better. Just for the sake of it check if you want the Apogee audio interfaces.You will see immediately that they are very, very expensive.Their converters are truly professional and that makes them cost a lot of money.The Apogee Mini-Me. is just a two channel audio interface and it costs as double as the Motu 828. Anyway, I do not think it would a good investment right now.The Motu sounds good and is affordable so let´s record music!!!!! |
