Original Message 1/18 03-May-05 @ 11:10 AM - final, final hi end solution
1. Buy an Alesis Masterlink
2. Buy a Tascam RW2000
3. Buy the best A/D convertor box I can afford and go straight into my Delta 410 soundcard
Thank you. I have asked this question before but I need to ask it again.

altho...I have a friend that was doing pro mixes, tons of releases, and the masterlink was good enough for him BUT he was using an apogee PSX as a converter
BOTH?

So why would he need an apogee convertor if he already had a masterlink? Does one go from the analogue desk - into the apogee convertor - then into the "digital in" on the masterlink?
So the A/D convertors on the Alesis aren't that good then?

concern yourself with being able to produce shit-hot mixes before worrying about high end ADC solution tho ?

How about I buy the digital board for my Focusrite MixMaster and then go from the digital output into the digital input of my delta 410 straight into Wavelab? Is that a quality solution?

A/D converters are about the last thing you'll need to upgrade in a typical home studio, unless you're using a really crap soundcard, which you arent i think.
edit:
or get that digital option for the mixmaster no idea if thats cheaper than a new soundcard.

My boss was mixing for one of my production clients one day and I was sitting in. He spent 20 minutes hooking up another converter to the masterlink to get "an edgier sound" and when it was all said and done, I couldn't tell the difference. My boss is a nutter like that. He claims to hear all these things.
Lots of people do... you have to trust your own ears though.

What you guys are saying is there would be absolutely no difference between a HHB 830 Burn It Plus, a Tascam RW2000 and Alesis Masterlink in terms of sound quality?

reminds me of this guy, has an ok studio.. asked me if better converters will improve his vocal sound. err... how about changing the MIC for starters??
