...I run Microtech Gefell M300 mics into a modded Edirol UA5 (www.oade.com, I have the "warm mod") into a Dell Laptop via USB.Sounds *fantastic*!!!
If portable 24/192 harddrive recorders come out soon (Sound Devices has one on the horizon), I'm going to sell my UA5 and buy a Grace Lunatec V3... That's the only portable 24/192 solution I know of right now.
24/96 was a great leap over 24/48 in my experience, and 24/192 is even better... MMMN. To tell you the truth, I love analog LPs. But 24/96 is so damn close, and better in some regards... and it's portable for live on location recording! Not a bad time to be digital. :D
Although I have found the DAC you use to listen makes a HUGE difference. That's why the lack of LPCM output on DVD-A players really makes me angry!
So you feed your laptop through the Edirol UA5 and record in 24/96... right?
You must have huge dynamics, great for concerts.
What soundcard and software do you use?Best
...the UA5 is a nice little unit, especially with Oade Bros. preamp mods. I also have the digi mod, which enables coax and toslink out, if I choose to use a DAT or something instead of my laptop. The UA5 has USB out, too, and most of the time I use my laptop and record at 24/96. 24/96 sounds *incredible* for concert recording, alot of the "live" feel translates very well at 96khz. I have recorded 24/48, too, and it's good; but 24/96 is much much better.I don't use a soundcard on my laptop for recording; recording software picks up the USB feed as .wav in, no soundcard needed (actually, it kindof "sees" the external device as a soundcard). There are lots of choices for recording: samplitude, cool edit 2000, nTrack studio. nTrack is nice in that it automatically stripes files (to get around the ~2 gig .wav file limit that is an old windows holdover).
For playback I use an EMI 2|6 USB device hooked up to my laptop just like the UA5. It has coax out, and I feed that to my dCS. It's fantastic...
