GDB-B&W-X.3.7 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Can anyone tell me if and why this machine is
supposed to be better than a beige G3 with a Wings
AV card for audio work?
I dunno nothing about that, but John Wang's AV FAQ <http://
www.sims.berkeley.edu/%7Ejwang/cgi/av-faq/> alleges that the AV Quadras
are perhaps better at digitising audio than the 1st generation PowerMacs,
such as the 6100:
The 660av and 840av [...] provide 16-bit stereo
sound input and output, with sampling rates of
22.050, 24.000, 44.100, and 48.000 kHz. Found in AV
and non-AV Power Macs alike, the Audio Waveform
Amplifier and Converter (AWAC) chip performs nearly
the same 16-bit I/O functionality, but with the
22.050 and 44.100 kHz sample rates only.
Wang also says that his FAQ does not attempt to include G3 PowerMacs in
its purview:
This FAQ does not directly cover Power Macintosh G3s
with the AV Personality card...
That's all the direct answer to your question that I can provide. In the
FAQ you can read Ben Denckla's more detailed analysis of the audio
capabilities of these machines.
And then:
I'm in the process of digitizing all of my old
record albums and I want the best setup I can have
for ease of use and quality.
When you're through with that, can you come over to my house and convert
*my* albums? ;-)
