Re: [ARSCLIST] Soundtrack Pro help...
Andy,
I'm curious what problems you're having with Amadeus...it's usually
pretty well-behaved.

~~Subject: [ARSCLIST] Soundtrack Pro help...
~~
~~Folks,
~~
~~Any users of Soundtrack Pro out there? I'm 99% sure that the ADC I'm
~~using (Mackie Onyx 1220 w/FireWire card) is outputting a 24 bit stream
~~into the Mac, and I'm 99% sure that the Mac system software (an eMac
~~running OS X) is configured to accept a 24 bit stream. Trouble is,
I'm
~~having a devil of a time being sure that Soundtrack is actually
~~ingesting data at 24 bits. Once it's in and "recorded"--i.e. once
you
~~start recording, input the bits you want and then hit the "stop"
~~button--the "details" tab for the file states it as being 16bit. When
~~you export it to a stand alone file it's more than happy to do so at
~~24bit, but I assume then It's just throwing in some new digits--it's
~~very vexing.
~~
~~Unlike my usual DAW software (Adobe Audition) when you set Soundtrack
to
~~ "record to a new file" (apparently the command one needs to use to
~~ingest an external digital stream to be able to save it as a separate
~~file) it only provides an option of selecting an input sample rate,
~~there's no mention of input bit depth.
~~
~~I'm going a bit nuts over this.
~~
~~I've tried some substitute software but since we're mostly PC around
~~here the options are slim--I can't manage to get Audacity to even see
~~the ADC, and Amadeus is having some other troubles of its own. The
~~machine I'm using (a donated eMac) doesn't have Garageband loaded on,
~~which would be my next try.
~~
~~Any help would be greatly appreciated.
~~
~~Thanks,
