What I was hearing was less punch, focus, and presence. What was so interesting was that before I got the converter, I couldn't put my finger on what my problem was. It was only until I got my AD16x that I start noticing what I was missing.

Yeah man, the converters in the 002 will sabatoge your music. They're terrible. Don't do that to yourself. Oh yeah, and if you get the AD16x, I would suggest the DA16x also. Now.... we're talking about roughly $6000, but WORTH EVERY PENNY. If that's to rich for your blood, pick up the rosetta 200 or 800 with a Big Ben.

Now if you have a good outboard converter and you let me just ramble on about converters and stuff , then I would have to know what you're running your signal through before the 002.

this is my problem exactly.

too bad i know how to make music only....
this is a tip for people who are naive in the begggin and listen to the sales people.

mpc sounds great
into the 002 sounds like massive garbage
i tried everyhign
blahhh
its def a converter.
but 6 gs is steap anything from apogee thats a touch less weighty on the pocket, especially for this project its already running into overtime.

int he future i would def look into a rosetta.

anyone know anything about the apogee mini to get me out of this crunch, we got great product, but shitty sound to the point im loosing sleep at night.

lol

thanks for your help.
