Hmm . . . not so sure. How do you think all those film and TV show soundtracks are edited and mixed? That's right, on a computer, with digital sound. I've done over ten years using Macs to edit video for broadcast - all using either 44.1kHz or 48kHz digital audio. Sure, much of it originates on analogue gear but it will wear out eventually! The Pro-audio world is moving up to 96kHz sampling now. I know about the old/new analogue/digital arguments but out here in the real world, digital is efficient, repeatable and editable without a razor-blade. What do you think is on those audio CDs? -- With best wishes, Roger Shufflebottom -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
