Re: Series III Library availability

2006-12-15 by paradyse_james

you' ll obtain .wav files.

Raw files will just give you the sound as it was originaly recorded 
by the Fairlight but not played by the Fairlight. You lose the 
Fairlight D/A converters, filters and vary frequency pitching... and 
they are replaced by the one you have in your emu.
You' ll get emu sound 
It' s like if you put a Canon Lens on a Leika
The best way is to record with an apogee AD converter every samples.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
