Then when it is time to mix, you come out of your computer, through the DA converters, and back into the Ghost again. You could record through the Ghost preamps into the AD converters, into the computer. Such as the Apogee DA16 mentioned up there. Yule need some Analog to Digital (AD) Convertors and a lot of Digital to Analog (DA) converters.
Maybe this isn't the forum for such questions but if you can help I'd appreciate it. Also the concepts of ITB and OTB mixing has got me a little confused. I am curious of exactly what gear is needed to get the tracks to and from the computer. That is why I asked about this board and other boards like it.
#Soundcraft ghost 32 channel upgrade
I understand the workings of my current setup perfectly, but down the road I may want to upgrade depending on my success and whatnot. Geeknik wrote: Right now I am running a Tascam FW-1884 with an 8 channel adat lightpiped. s a steady voltage from the transformer and theres a great ground created by the windings.NO BUZZ. I never go past whats in the book, but theres a point on these that the rails get a bit more volts and the mic pres get a lot more creamy and the EQ gets very precise. Its almost the same moneywise with what I can get for the Ghost and the difference in quality consoles(which no one wants right now) as opposed to the upgrade of the Ghost and what I already have invested.ĭecisions decisions decisions.good thing I aint in no hurry.Īnd regardless what anybody says about this.I run my Ghost on a Variac and run the voltage up to the upper range of its recommended operational voltage. So the dilemma will be to upgrade the Ghost, or go higher on the food chain as far as console. Didnt they used to call this engineering?! I make the source really good and hot so the inputs only have to work so much. Mine sounds really good now but I know a lot of that is my particular brand of sound control. I have heard a version that has been upgraded and it sounds great. My plan is to have a hybrid studio complete with ProTools HD(maybe I wont need it and only go with the 002R) but to have a console I can mix as well as track with that has pres that are better than the Ghosts are now.
#Soundcraft ghost 32 channel mod
John.I'm almost at that critical dilemma about the major mod on the Ghost. And if the mod makes it that much better I may invest the additional 3K later.
Pretty much all I can say is that I am very happy with the Ghost 24LE. I love Cubase for tracking and editing and a few plugs but that is about it-oh and I can't live without the DAW for songwriting. I just like being able to turn the knobs. But the console allows me to have inserts and do busing with the cool outboard gear. Still use plugins UAD1 pultecs and a Fairchild or two on individual tracks. I like it MUCH better than mixing in the box. I just go into Cubase through the Apogee with other pres and then single channel outs to mix. I don't use the Ghost pres but I might give that a whirl soon. I think the converters and clock are important when you are going AD/DA/AD So I went ahead and bought the Rosetta, Big Ben And a DA 16X and it made a huge difference immediately over the RME converters that I was using. Does anyone have the Sarge Mod on their Ghost. I come out Apoggee converters from Cubase SX3.
