Topic: SRC Questions
When integrating the ADI-2 Pro FS BE (which I'm about to purchase) into a multitrack studio I have a workflow question as to how best to set up the converter for multitrack mixdown.
The stereo mix audio will be coming to the ADI as analog stereo audio and sent back to computer via UFX AES. The audio is a combination of in the box processing @ 44.1khz but soon to be 96 Khz (using Raydat card ) and then sent out to 16 channel analog summing where about 10 of those 16 channels have analog transformers, eq, compressors and other "colour' type processing. It all gets summed together and sent to ADI-2 Pro FS BE analog input.
Since even at 44.1khz there's a fair bit of analog colour going on I'm thinking the mixdown audio would benefit from being sampled at higher than 44.1Khz. According to the ADI manual, optimal setting for ADI input record is 192 Khz.
So I can either achieve 192Khz for the ADI-2 FS BE recording while not sync'd to the rest of my audio system (UFX & 2 x Cranborne Audio Adat500 converters) or I can connect the ADI-2 to a second computer via USB and run internal clock on ADI and just record mixdown at 192Khz that way.
Will I hear a difference? I know I can test this when I get the box but would be good to get some other views on this.
Additionally if Idid try to use ADI SRC and mixdown using just one computer how is it even possible to send back 192Khz audio to a UFX AES input for recording when the UFX MUST be sync'd to 44.1Khz with the rest of the system?
