Phait Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I'm curious why, when I am playing guitar through my Fantom-S listening through headphones or monitors - that it sounds different (typically better), than when I playback a sampled recording (on the board or on computer) of what I played on guitar. Some relevant specs of the Fantom-S: - Sampling freq: 44.1 kHz (fixed) - Data format: 16-bit linear (File Type: .WAV/AIFF) - 24-bit coaxial/optical digital output, two stereo or four mono analogue outputs, mic/line stereo/mono input (1/4") I run the guitar through the mic input...

mwestenberg Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 What you are hearing while playing probably hasn't been sampled yet and thus degraded. In other words what you're hearing while playing hasn't gone through the digital conversion process twice as it has when you play it back. Lyrics. Wasted space between solos. I can't tell you, but I can play it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phait Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 That makese sense actually.. kind of a letdown though, but then again, I hate recording direct 75% of the time anyawy. Though I've been considering getting a Pod XT Pro rack... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
