snaysup · 31st May 2006

I have a few questions about mastering with analog outboard gear. Where in the chain do you insert something like an AVOCET or GRACE 902? DAW->DAC->EQ->limiter->ADC->DAW2?
DO you use the avocet dac to get out of the source computer?
Also do the coverters need to be synched to a master clock?
Can source DAW be the destination DAW?

thanks, daniel m.
