What Converters do you guys use here?

[joey333]

Just wondering if any of you producers/engineers use converters?
if so! what type/model..


(Also anybody know if Skrillex uses a Converter? and also which one, cheers)

[wub]

When you converter, what exactly do you mean?

[joey333]

like this: Apogee Rosetta 200 - 2 Channel 24-bit/192K AD/DA Converter

A converter Improves the Sound Quality to be the best. the better the converter the cleaner your sound.

Good lord.



I've never used one, and tbh haven't ever had any complaints about my sound quality.

[samkablaam]

everyone who works digitally uses them, its how your speakers can play ones and zeros. and how you turn analogue stuff into ones and zeros.

i use my mbox and at the studio we use 192s and a prism ada8

this is dubstep forum. all you need is a shitty laptop and cracked software.

So, if I haven't got one I can't work digitally?

[samkablaam]

there's convertors in your sound card. :/

Ah, so in answer to the question "What Converters do you guys use here?", my answer should've been "The ones in my soundcard", correct?

Apogee Duet, great quality AD/DA on it

sweet man, ive heard a few friends of mine using a prism orpheus and other converters by Prism.

Burr Browns built into my Decks, that is when I really care.

I havent found better converters than Burrs and lots of people swear by them so why not.

It's true yaknow.

1.5k would buy my set up about 3 times over.

but if you want High End Quality, Buy a Good Conveter like an Apogee or Prism Orpheus.

edit: nvm. I need to learn to read a thread before posting

[Ldizzy]

this thread is either scary shit or pure trolling ...

can't believe im actually adding up to this... but it reminded me of a horrendous 17 version of myself willing to inject crazy amount of money into my dreams so i could make it like the big boys right away because i was ready to "walk the extra mile noone was ready to walk"... (op may be unlike that, but i was)

converters will mainly help you if you use hardware/external sources for your sounds ...

when people talk about the "quality of a soundcard" they often mix things up like preamps and converters...

op, deducing from your blatant lack of knowledge concerning the subject, id strongly dis-recommend using any type of budget converter... you would probably use it wrong.

and no skrillex doesn't use a rosetta, im pretty sure.

i'll let you in on a little secret. stainberg MR816 blows converters twice it's price out of the water.

i'm all for quality gear, i've tried it and it works.

Apogee Duet, great quality AD/DA on it

I am using the Duet too, anyone who needed to ask about converters should simply invest in this unit (if Mac), you will be blown away by the quality and it takes time to train your ear to hear it so dont just a/b really quick unless you know whats up

P.S. I am updating to the DUET2 !!!!! woot, will post my opinion is wanted.


Also @joey in the studio I work at we have a Lavry Gold which sounds AWESOME
and we just picked up a Millenia preamp (not a converter I know) but I have never heard such clean beauty from a preamp until this beast: http://www.proaudio.com/product_info.ph ... ts_id=5685

[Ldizzy]

^ was hesitating betweeen lavry and symphony io. your thougts?

did u try both??? i hear symphony has different converters then duet, and they're apparently nicer.

i really want to buy once and for all .

now i still need to do this for the noobs :
understand that converters won't change anything to what's happening inside the software. if you stay in the softworld, the only advantage of conversion would be better playback quality (more accuracy in playback).

i.e. : headphone jack of a symphony io > headphone jack of your shitty laptop sound interface.

just to make it clear.
