Looking to pickup a soundcard for another computer/sequencer rig.
Considering EMU 0404 or 1212, versus M-Audio Audiophile 192. Any opinions
or suggestions?
Thanks,
Edna

I've heard great things about the EMU card as far as fidelity goes. I've
also heard some bad things about it as far as the digital protocall goes.
Seems it doesn't somehow adhere to the ADAT spec so if you're planning to
interface it digitally with Paris via ADAT, there might be issues. It
doesn't have an ADAT sync input so clocking it could be an issue unless you
were clocking both the EMU card and Paris to an external clock. The MAudio
ought to be pretty strack as far as being compatible with whatever spec you
want to use. It's a bit more $$$, but I'm very pleased with the RME stuff
and I have also used the LynxOne. If you don't need a whole lot of I/O and
sample rates above 48k, the LynxOne is an excellent choice. I have actually
clocked Paris from a LynxOne and I have also daisy chained a LynxOne from a
Paris system with no problems. Lynx and RME both make great stuff.

Just one thing: unless you are actually synching ADAT tape transports I
don't think you need the 9 pin sync for the digital data - it is adequately
represented in the stream.

Adequately represented in the stream? I plan to s/pdif from the sequencer
computer to the PARIS computer. I have never done any digital transfers
before, so am not sure what sync issues may arise. Are you saying the
digital data will provide its own sync?
Thanks,
Edna

Thanks DJ, I will check out the Lynx. These other 2 cards can be gotten for
less than a C. Well, except for the 1212 which touts as having the same
converters as the PT HD(-120 db).
But I dont want any sync issues.

What I meant is that the lightpipe cables would carry the sync and you would
not need the 9 pin. If you are going spdif then you should have no concern
about the ADAT 9 pin whatsoever.

Bill,

ADAT sync carries it's own clock signal irregardless of whether is it
timeline locked via the 9 pin serial cable. I have heard that the signal
that is imbedded in the bitstream of the ADAT output (using a fibre optic
cable sending 8 channels) of the EMU card may not be reliable.
This was being discussed on the RME website a while back so consider the
source I guess.

Regards,

Deej

Edna,

SPDIF carries it's own imbedded clock signal. You can, in theory, set Paris
to receive *digital* clock in the Paris control panel, and it *should* sync
to the spdif output of another device which is feeding it's signal to the
Paris spdif input. This won't lock up the timelines of two DAWs, (only ADAT
or midi sync will do this) but if you're just inputting audio into PARIS via
spdif, it *should* prevent timing errors like clicks and pops.

Thanks Bill
I would also like to be able to have the visti computer start playingwhen I
start PARIS recording(or vice versa), since I am bringing the
instrumentation in piecemeal.

OK, I get what you are doing. First I should clarify: there are 2 kinds of
sync here. There is wordclock, which locks the digital clocks for accurate
transfer of audio, then there is play/stop sync, which moves the
DAW/sequencer play line. The first one is carried by either a wordclock
cable (best), or embedded in the spdif or ADAT lightpipe digital stream
(OK). The second one can be from MIDI timecode via a MIDI cable (OK), or if
you have it, a 9 pin ADAT sync cable (very accurate) (or a few other ways,
but we won't worry about those now).

If you are moving VSTi audio tracks from a sequencer into Paris, or just
want them to play along with Paris, you should do fine with MIDI timecode
for the sync and spdif for the audio (2 tracks at a time). I would recommend
that approach - someone else who still uses Paris correct me if I am wrong.

Deej,

Yeah, I'm hip to that (I bought 3 ADATs practically the week they came out).
My point was that it is no better than spdif unless you need to lock up
ADATs to Paris (something I never enjoyed doing!)

Best,
Bill

So what are the few other ways?

Been wanting to do the sync tighter than MTC but wondering what other
options could be explored (running Paris and Cubase SX3).

Understood. This reminds me that I still have to do some ADAT transfers for
a project......ugh!

I'm not too crazy about this either.

Hey Jeff, thiose other options I was referring to are for other types of
systems - not for a sequencer. Sorry! Your best bet for tight sync might be
ADAT sync, but you would need an ADAT card in a MEC and an ADAT compatible
sound card like the RME 9652.

I've got both the EMU 0404 and the M-Audio Delta 1010, and I can
categorically say that the EMU is a rounder, warmer sound, plus, as a bonus,
has onboard effects, should you want to use them.

I checked with Creative and they said the 0404 doesnt support adat sync, so
I may look for the 1212. It does have different converters than the 0404,
so probably wont sound the same. It seems to be a good price for the
features.
Thanks,
Edna

Hi Edna,
None of the EMU cards support ADAT Time code sync. They do have a poorly
implemented ADAT clock sync ability though. Don't confuse digital audio
clock with time code clock sync.
The Frontier Designs Dakota, RME HDSP9652 and Digi9652 are the only
cards that have built in ADAT Time sync. But none are cheap and none
have analog I/O only ADAT.

The best cheap sound card from the description of what you need would
seem to be the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI card. It's 99.00 has rca
analog RCA and stereo SPDIF and Midi I/O.

If you are going into Paris's SPDIF connection then it really doesn't
matter how the built analog sound sense you will be listening to Paris's
converters.
You can use the Midi if you need to sync the time code between the 2
machines.
There are tighter time code syncs possible but then you have to spend
allot more money.

Hi Chris, thanks for the response. Yes, I was thinking I could use MIDI
sync for timelines. Have no idea of how "tight" it is or needs to be? I
understand that the 9-pin ADAT sync would be the tightest. A LynxOne card I
just missed went for $157 on Ebay. Something like this I could swing. I
may have uses other than just into PARIS, so I would like to have something
that sounds good as well. It seems a number of folks have had problems with
Dakota and PARIS, so I havent been looking at this one. If I had the $$,
RME Multiface would be it. For cheap, the Audiophile does seem to offer a
lot. Does the EMU 1212 have decent MIDI sync?
thanks,
Edna

Hi Edna,
The Multiface dos not have the ADAT Sync option on it. Neither do any of
the Lynx cards. So in that respect they would be now better than the
audiophile. The midi time code sync on any of the cards are fine. I
didn't see what audio app you will be using to do this along with Paris.
The timing issues will be caused by these apps more than the hardware.
Cubase 3 and Sonar 5 both seem to having pretty tight timing from what
I've experienced. Cubase 1/2 and the earlier Sonar version all have had
their of troubles but could usually be tweaked to work well.

Personally I would see if you can find a used HDSP9652 or
Digiface/HDSPPCI card on ebay. Well worth the money for when you will
eventually shit can Paris for something different. :)

I see. I'm still looking at audio apps, considering Cubase SX3 or
Samplitude at present. I've heard quite a few folks comment on how good Sam
sounds. Also, as far as the soundcard is concerned, I was also looking for
an inexpensive way to get 24-bit A/D into PARIS when desired, w/o having to
spring for the 8-in PARIS card. Thanks again for the help.

Chris,

My HDSP Multiface has a a 9 pin ADAT sync input. It's the new Multiface II
units that don't have the ADAT sync.
