Arnold,
The 2 master sliders are strange. They seem to both adjust the volume, bu
tone of them does so in finer increments then the other.
As far as the 48khz goes it does seem that clipping was what i was hearing
(hence the uncomfortable sound) and resampling does alleviate that. I
wonder if it's possible to up-sample the bitrate too, so that i am going
from 16/44.1 to 24/48.
As far as the Tascam goes, i'd say give it to your friend. I need stable
inputs for Mythtv. Thank you for the offer though.

Strange that they'd use one set of drivers
for the front and rear.
That is not strange: By using the AC97 they get a completely(?) developed
product with all the compatibility (= Lots of features and benefits for
less
cost). They just extend it with their own features by adding their emu10k1
on
the board.
Huh. I
try to keep my volume down at those levels too and it does seem to make
a
difference.
I really think its some clipping happening because of the resampling...
Sometimes (before my good devices) I mastered in 48kHz and all sounded
well.
Downsampling to 44.1kHz for CD gave me horrible high noise/distortion on
rehearsal at the same volume which made me check the 48kHz material (which
was okay).
Can you explain why we seem to have 2
"Master" sliders and 2 "Line-In"
sliders?
I have even more "Line-In"s because of the livedrive :-)
I donno why i sounds better this time, but
hearing is *so* based on
expectations. It's not great, but it will do till i can afford
something
better. I wonder how much better the M-Audo Audiophile sounds?
Well, the Audiophile should give you another step in quality...
As far as your Tascam goes i might consider that.
How much do you want
for
it and how much higher is the sound quality? All i need is stereo out +
line-in for mythtv.
Hm, the tascam has stereo in and out. The only problem with (my) Tascam is
that the input-amplifiers break regularly. And of course the
warranty-timespan is over and one input-preamp is broken again. So the
first
channel can only be used from the insert-point on.
Where do you live and what do you want to pay for a (half- / third-)
broken
Tascam?
I am not yet confident with the thought of selling it because the firepod
in
its rack is much harder to transport and doesn't allow for
field-recordings
just with the laptop. But maybe I lend/sell the tascam to a friend who
plays
guitar and might be interested in using linux (and a pc) as
effect-stack...
