Re: [xl7] recording from SPDIF output?

2003-04-22 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Well, to be honest, the SPDIf signal from the XX-7's is actually pretty 
weak.  It's far below what it could be, so you'll be normalizing your 
recordings by a greater amount than if you were to just use the regular 
audio outs where you could send a hotter signal.  Anyway, yes in theory 
you should be able to normalize your digital signal without adding (or 
boosting I should say) any additional noisefloor artifacts.  BTW, why are 
you wanting to normalize them in the first place?

I know that it is good recording practice to get the hottest signal 
from the source without clipping to get a good singal to noise 
ratio.  Is this required for SPDIF?  I am thinking that since the 
connection is digital I should be able to record from the MP-7 then 
normalize the recordings on my PC without boosting noise.  Does 
anyone have experience with this? It will save me a lot of time vs 
editing all presets and boosting the AMP VOL there.

Thanks,

Kris
