Or ∗heard∗ anything that made me change my mind for that matter :) !
Regarding recording MOTM onto disc: the less between the MOTM and
the bits on the disc the better. Once the signal is converted to
bits, you can tweak if you want, but the keep original bits around.
Also, go with 24 bits, then dither to 16 AS THE LAST STEP before
burning the CD. A 24 bit recording (properly) dithered to 16 sounds
MUCH better than a straight up 16 bit reording. I use Ozone to
dither and it does a spectacular job.
About 48 vs 44.1, I record at 48 and convert to 44 for CD. I think
we will eventually get a format that will play back 48/24 and to my
ears 48 has more air. The converters on my Tascam FW-1884 sound
good to me, but obviously a high end converter would be good, too.
My problem is that I often have as many as eight outputs from a
single patch that I have to record simultaneously. In Apogee land,
that means mor bucks than my MOTM costs!
