    Digital does not simulate a sine wave. It represents the sine wave as a discrete sequence of n-bit integers. The faithfulness of all this relies on good AD/DA chips and a good analog stage. If you really want to see digital sampling in action try this. Get yourself an analog function...

    New Mouse Recommendations

    All right so I received my Corsair M65. It is bigger than I thought it would be so it actually rests quite well in the palm, though it does have a few edges that make it slightly annoying but nothing major. At first when I took it out of the packaging I thought it was going to be too light but...

    New Mouse Recommendations

    Pulled the trigger on the Corsair M65. Overall it seemed the best fit of all the ones suggested. Hopefully it is not a terrible mouse. Thanks everyone!

    New Mouse Recommendations

    My aging G9x recently bit the dust not too long ago, the mouse buttons just gave out :( Seeing as Logitech has discontinued the G9x I would rather just get a new mouse. However, this has proved more difficult than I thought it would be. The first thing is I do not like light mice. And while I...

    Upgrade Time . . . kind of

    Yeah the most intensive thing I typically do is digital audio and that typically does not push RAM over the top. That is unless I decide to work with Omnisphere but even then I might push 3-4gb of RAM. But by far the area where I run out quick is in CPU. Very easy to max out. My definition of...

    Upgrade Time . . . kind of

    Dangman, Hmmmm, even the 2TB is like the exact same price as the one I was looking at. Looks like I'll be getting more storage than I expected for almost exactly the same price. About Win 8, that is what I had feared. Edit - All right so the current look of the system is this. i7 4770K $340...

    Upgrade Time . . . kind of

    Dangman, I am sadly nowhere near a Microcenter. Just about everything has to be bought online. The few computer shops around where I live are more helpful in getting the little things you forgot to order and really cannot wait too long. I think you're right in going with a cheaper board...

    Upgrade Time . . . kind of

    Right-o first things first. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming and digital audio work 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? ~$1,500, preferably less. No taxes or shipping included 3) Which country do you live in? If the...

    AMD Radeon HD 7970 CrossFire Bundle Lucky Draw

    The HD 7970 GHz is a truly awesome piece of engineering. But by far my favorite thing about the latest and greatest generation from AMD is that the cards are simply great performers that are priced well and offer great features.

    elp me pick best studio monitors ~ 1500$ Neuman KH 120 vs Adam A7x vs Focal CMS 50

    Well I wouldn't call Class D amps lower quality per se. The big advantage of a Class D amp over say a Class AB is size. They're just smaller, lighter, etc . . .. That is the big advantage of them. A lot of folks like the Class T amp and all that really is is a Class D amp. Take that how you...

    elp me pick best studio monitors ~ 1500$ Neuman KH 120 vs Adam A7x vs Focal CMS 50

    Psyside, Really when you're going up in a monitor line the thing that you'll notice is typically less distortion on the low end. This can have the effect of increasing the sound stage, better top end, better upper mids, etc . . .. The same thing happens in mixing as well. There might be...

    elp me pick best studio monitors ~ 1500$ Neuman KH 120 vs Adam A7x vs Focal CMS 50

    One thing to remember is that speakers are highly personal things. So, all this is just my opinion on the matter. Also, something else I feel I should point out is that as a hobby I mix audio. So, a lot of my opinion on the matter comes from actually working with the speakers in that regard...

    elp me pick best studio monitors ~ 1500$ Neuman KH 120 vs Adam A7x vs Focal CMS 50

    Ahriman, While all your observations are correct, I'd like to add something. You don't have to get ported speakers. There are sealed 2-way and 3-way monitors out there. Two that I can think of off the top of my head are from Unity Audio, The Rock (2-way design) and The Boulder (3-way). They...

    elp me pick best studio monitors ~ 1500$ Neuman KH 120 vs Adam A7x vs Focal CMS 50

    I had a pair of Adam A5X (only real difference that I know of is the A7X has more low end) that I sold and got a pair of Neumann KH120A instead. I haven't heard the Focal CMS series but I have a good friend who likes them and likens them to the Yamaha NS-10 except they're smoother. My...

    M-Audio BX8 D2 static noise

    All right the tweeter sounds about right, though the amount of hiss that it should have is debatable. However, the woofer buzzing makes me suspect something else. Since I do not own a pair myself (and I have actually heard nothing but good things about M-Audio monitors, actually had a pair of...
