Need help with signal flow, Mic pre-HD I\O-HDX Card-DAW
Hi,
I need help with the basic signal flow, I'm upgrading from a Steinberg UR44 to HDX system, I don't understand how can I plug in my mic preamp ART MPII to the HD I\O, Do I need to buy the HD I\O analog, or the Digital one ? what are the difference between them? is the signal coming out of my ART MPII considered Analog or Digital? Thanks. |

Re: Need help with signal flow, Mic pre-HD I\O-HDX Card-DAW
There are 3 versions of the HD IO
Digital(DON'T buy this one)(this has digital ins and outs only) 8x8x8(this one has 8 analog IO and 8 digital IO) 16x16 analog(all analog IO) OMNI(if you have not looked at this, you need to) IIRC, the all-analog version cost a bit more, but its up to you to decide. In any case, you need: 1-a micorphone 2-a preamp(the ART MPA II) with analog outputs 3-an interface(HD IO with some analog inputs) 4-DB25 cable that fans out to XLR or TRS(from the preamp outputs) 5-Mini-Digilink cable(to connect the IO box to the HDX card 6-DB25 cable to xlr or TRS for outputs to studio monitors and/or headphones 7-HD software WITH a Digilink license Back to the OMNI for a moment. It connects to the HDX card with the same Mini-Digilink cable as with the HD IO, but its a different beast. The HD IO is all line-level ins and outs(16 total). The OMNI has on-board mic preamps(which are quite good) and several other ins/outs(line level, SPDIF, Lightpipe). So, if you only need a few ins and outs(8 of each, total), the OMNI is less money
