Re: how do you record your xl-7

2006-02-10 by gonzinigonz

Dont think davide has any problems with jitter or incompatable S/Pdiff 
formats, though the 20bit into 24bit might need some dithering...
I had an issue when trying to feed a 16 bit connection with the XL7, 
but changing to 20 bit was fine.
I cant remeber if all was ok with 24bit though..
That was on a TC D2 delay unit which i was using as a A/D and D/A. You 
can change the S/PDIF format on those units.
If he can record at 24 bits then the A/D must suppport 24 bit as i'd 
imagine he'd get an error when trying to record.  

Most S/PDIF connections are 24 bit these days, its the current hardware 
thats out there to use.
Heres some good info:-
