A/D Fireface Clipper

shadyru · 31st March 2008

Anyone use their fireface as an A/D clipper. Going out analog and back in. If anyone is doing this please explain to me how you go about doing this. Thanks!

What do you mean by "AD Clipper"

Are you trying to clip the waveforms?
if so, there are MUCH cooler devices that can achieve distortion,

I assure you clipping the input to an ADC has to be the least sexy kind of distortion you can create. But hey, who am I to tell you whats right for your music.
