Hi everyone
Can somebody give me some direction because I don't want to bother older members of this forum by lame questions.I downloaded manual for luna twice,but that file is damaged,I can't open it.Basically,I want to know how can I use best my Luna,because I have a feeling that I'm not using it properly.For example,when I export song that I recorded in 24 bit 44.1 to 16 bit 44.1(for cd listening),I can't hear any difference...I remember when I was doing that on my old sblive card(which is 16 bit card btw:),I heard difference...
Please,if you have time to help one completely-lost-in-the-manuals man,you can contact me via mail,on muzickimag@yahoo.com ,or on this topic.

Thanks
Best regards

hi Darkstar, don't worry, the largest profit of working in 24 bit lays in the audio processing, applying plugs and using soft reverbs etc.

Cooling down to 16 bit for cd use doesn't kill that quality profit profit significantly.
It should sound better than if processed all in16 bit, specially if the processed music has a very broad dynamic range.

The lost is biggest in peaces where you're audio level is very low, and coz the headroom working with 16 bit is mutch lower compared to 24 bit, you're better off with 24 bit.
But again, the processing itself benefits also alot from 24 bit working.

There is alot more good info on this very subject on planetz, do some searches.
My knowledge is just very profane.

I have a Pulsar card, so for the manual I hope someone else can help you out.
greetz.
