upgrading for next level sound

vital · 16th February 2008

hi all
i am using emu1212m card, uad card, nuendo, mixing inside the box
my question is-
if i upgrade to the convertor Lavry Black DA, and still mixing inside the box
is that going to better the sound quallity of the master bounce cd, since lavry is only da and the mixing is happening inside the computer,
is there any actuall benefint on the master cd besides better listening quallity?
sorry for my enlish...

It will benefit you to have better converters in the mix down phase because you will be able to hear more subtleties in your mix that otherwise would not be there if your conversion sucks.

What does your room sound like - any acoustic treatment/bass trapping etc? What monitors are you using?

If all those things are good...then yes, a top-draw converter will help you hear what you're doing better, and give a better result.

If you're in a boxy spare bedroom...you might not even hear the difference.

krk, little ones
rom si big
no akousticks treatment
so, basicly sound will benefit for my ears not directly the master isb, right?
thanks all!
