What is the output sound quality on the fantom X?

mr. claudio,

You know that I can't allow that kind of imagery here. . . . . .

sorry bout that bassman. I got a little carried away.
Da-man...I know exactly what you mean. When I resample into the fantom it sounds muffled. Even recording the output with RCA plugs with a Y adapter (1/8 inch) into my laptop STOCK soundcard sounded better. Thanks for the link

To racoon....I think the bit rate has to do more with the signal to noise ratio. meaning that fuzzy noise is almost invisble when recording into an audio interface of 24bits. @16 bits, the fuzz adds up (especially when recording 16 tracks of audio per song)

if you can do sampling outside of the fantom on a piece of equipment with higher resolution, that's the way to go, no question.

but if, in the end, you port it all back to the fantom for the final mixdown, then you're back to 16 bits. oh, well.

Hello,
there is one more thing to be added: when you get ONE 16bit sound in 24bit format, you get some headroom.
But when you record SEVERAL tracks, while mixing (in 24 bit) you'll see that the 8 additional bits of headroom are welcome: the signals have place enough to add to each one with much less risk of clipping. Durin mixing and mastering, you can always take advantage of the additional headroom. Once this step is achieved, you no longer need all that space: I mean then when you're finished with processing and ready to record, you can go back to the ole 16bit CD format.
I hope this clarifies a bit.
Nice evening to all,
Gabriel

and the magic doesn't stop there. if you hook your keyboard to a tv set, you will actually see yourself playing onstage.

yes but it won't be live and there will be commercials. Maybe the next OS update will fix that.

No wonder I lose my tune during breaks.
