Anyways, I have a profire lightbridge that I use with an Apogee AD-16x and was wondering what the advantage would be if I were to get the Symphony Cards installed and a DA-16x. Besides having more DA channels what would the advantage be? Less latency? Anything else? I don't have much trouble with the latency with the profire as of now. |
A big deal for me has been the "advanced routing" mode of the 16x's when you use an X-card. Since the computer I/O is through the Symphony bus, the 16X digital and analog sides are separated; you not only have 16 in/out analog, but an additional 16 in/out digital. I use Maestro as a digital patchbay for all those AES ins and outs, and can do some crazy routing stuff (I run iTunes on a Mac Mini and feed the output via FW and a handy ULN-2 into the Digital 2 in on my Avocet for doing reference checks, and mult a digital out the other way for Spectrafoo and a software tuner, for example.) The digital I/O on my HEDD is hooked up this way as well, so I can do an external digital loop for the processing. Etc.
The low latency is nothing to sneer at either. I do all of my tracking headphone mixes out of Logic (with more crazy routing) and the latency is inaudible.
