it's got to be the D/A in the MBOX. I would most certainly hope the D/A in the MOTU is better than the MBOX.

I didnt know I was using any converters in the MBOX except for monitoring....something I most DEFINITELY want to avoid here in regards to the files themselves. I just want to bring the audio files into PT to edit, since ediitng them in DP is not going to be time effective right now. I plan on doing ...

well, I converted simply because I didnt know better. ive always worked in PT, and never with SDII files in DP. I did a TON of editing last night...about 6 hours worth to 3 songs. the thought of doing it again frightens me...haha... if there is nothing lost going from SDII to WAV, then ill leave it....

yep, both session are 44.1/24 bit. i wouldve liked to record at a higher sample rate, but the producer we're working with wanted them at 44.1 for some reason...says he always works in that rate from the projects he "gets from LA". its not RIDICULOUSLY different...just not nearly as rounded...

sounds fine in DP, no so fine in Pro Tools

ok ok...before im asked...im only doing editing in Pro Tools because I am on a tight deadline, and since im still a DP novice i need to get the edits done in PT quick--a program I know very well. Is it POSSIBLE that the music I tracked in DP sounds RIDICULOUSLY better in DP than it does when I broug...

me

I was a hard PT user for the past 9-10 years, and just jumped to DP. I now have a good grasp on using it for tracking, and very much like it way more than PT for tracking. Editing? another story. Naturally, I work quicker in PT, but from what Ive experienced and read, things like 'Insert Silence&quo...

grace

Ive seen them here and there USED for $400. Heck, I am selling both of my Grace's for $500 each...or, $900 for both in a 1U rack. Just want what I paid, but I HAVE seen them go as low as $400 on craigslist and such in the past.... I always recommend reamping bass if you have the time and the capabil...

Bass DI

I run bass tracks right into a Grace 101, which you can get for $400. they are super clean, much like the U5. Then I run it into a Distressor for some SLIGHT squeezing (though, that a $1000 piece in itself). I love the bass tones i get from that.
