I'm curious if anyone has compared recordings made via their computers with something along the lines of a Roland R-05. My first attempts at digitizing were done in 1998 using a computer and were disastrous...too many dropped samples. I know that things have improved dramatically since then, but I've never tried again, finding it easier first to use a standalone CD recorder and later the Zoom H2 and now Roland R-05. I've heard lots of complaints about computers generating noise, yet it seems like the computer route is how the "serious" people do their digitizing.
I've found the little standalone recorders very easy to use and, to my ears, they sound good. I capture and post-process at 24/96, then use SoX to downsample the finalized versions to 16/44.1. I also keep the raw files archived to Blu-ray in case I need to go back and fix something (which has definitely happened). Am I going to wake up some day and suddenly hate all my captures when I finally hear whatever sonic disaster I've apparently been missing all this time? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104038 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
