is quality PC soundcard relevant to editing and burning digital sound?
Hi all,
I have a mini-DV tape with a nature sounds soundtrack I would like to capture, edit (basically copy several times to make a longer track), and burn on CD. As the soundtrack is digital and will be captured through firewire, edited digitally, and burned on audio CD, it appears to me that the quality of my soundcard has no influence in any way on this process (i.e. a crappy one can generate a hiss in playback but the sound card is not in the chain of DVtape-to-PC-to-CD). Am I correct here? Many thanks, BN |

Bob,
As the soundtrack is digital and will be captured through firewire ... it appears to me that the quality of my soundcard has no influence Yes, you are correct. --Ethan |

Am I correct here? Many thanks, BN Yes, you are correct. However, if you wish to use filters or noise reduction, or choose clips based upon quality comparisons, then you need a decent card. Completely wrong. What you need is a good editor. The sound card is just an interface and it provides no filters, noise reduction or other editing facilities unless some software happens to be packaged with it. |

Completely wrong interpretation of what I said. First off, there is no record of a previous post by "weroboy" that I commented on. So, I can't have possibly wrongly interpreted what you said "weroboy" since I've not commented on anything that you wrote. Secondly, it's too bad I've got this hang up about reading English as it is written. If that was indeed you speaking under a different false name, then you used the word "card". No "card" is necessarily needed. In order to HEAR and JUDGE, one needs a good sound card. Not necessarily, In order to edit all you need is some kind of a working audio interface. These days most modern PCs come with an audio interface on the motherboard. As you point out, the card is not involved in the processing, only in the JUDGING.. What card? No sound card is required, just a chip on the motherboard that is no doubt already there. |

No sound card is required, just a chip on the motherboard that is no doubt already there. The response was made by me. Even you, Arny Krueger, have documented differences in sound cards. In order to audition the sound, a high level of quality is required. Any filter with adjustable parameters has tradeoffs in the application. Since the result of filtering is usually subject to subjective judgement, the quality of the DAC matters. I have a modern laptop that appears to have excellent quality. On the other hand, a Slot A Athlon I used until recently had audio quality that was extremely poor. Although it is likely that the user has a good DAC, it is not certain. Therefore, it is worth bringing to his attention that the DAC, wherever it may be located, should be a good one. |

Any filter with adjustable parameters has tradeoffs in the application. Since the result of filtering is usually subject to subjective judgment, the quality of the DAC matters. Right, but you don't need a LynxTWO to mix. I have a modern laptop that appears to have excellent quality. On the other hand, a Slot A Athlon I used until recently had audio quality that was extremely poor. An ancient historical artifact. Although it is likely that the user has a good DAC, it is not certain. He's got ears, right? If it sounds bad then its up him to take appropriate steps. Therefore, it is worth bringing to his attention that the DAC, wherever it may be located, should be a good one. Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! The above is not a technical comment. |

is quality PC soundcard relevant to editing and burning digital sound?
Hi all,
I have a mini-DV tape with a nature sounds soundtrack I would like to capture, edit (basically copy several times to make a longer track), and burn on CD. As the soundtrack is digital and will be captured through firewire, edited digitally, and burned on audio CD, it appears to me that the quality of my soundcard has no influence in any way on this process (i.e. a crappy one can generate a hiss in playback but the sound card is not in the chain of DVtape-to-PC-to-CD). Am I correct here? Yes, except that your editing decisions may be flawed if based on the sound you hear froma crap soundcard. geoff |
