MD: Sample Rate conversion

In response to the questions generated by my posting about resampling. We oversample the input signal at a very high rate (we place samples in between two regular samples). The larger total number of samples fills in the gaps (interpolation process). Internally the sample rate becomes 3.2768 GHz.

this is what i would do. if the mixer you're using has *optical* out, then hook up the optical cable that came with your recorder to the mixer and hit record. if you don't have optical out, it's more work, but not much. i've had the unit you're speaking of, so what you need to do is go to radio

Re: MD: . dvd to md

You are probably getting a Dolby Digital or DTS signal instead of PCM In your Pioneer, get into the Setup configuration. Now, configure DTS and Dolby Digital to be output in PCM instead of raw bitstream. This will send a digital PCM signal to your output, and you will be able to record everythin

RE: MD: . dvd to md

The digital output on the dvd is set to AC-3 default. And MD only can copy atereo. So if you want to copy digitally, you have to down mix the dvd output to stereo first. I don't know whether your dvd player have this option, if not you have to stay with analog. Ken -Original Message-

Hi Tim, With an optical card, all you get is what you hear at the speakers. That means the DFX processing WILL go through the S/PDIF out. And DFX makes the recording sound much better. Digital recording is so much simpler than Analog. - Original Message - From: "tim m" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
