I'm sure for fulltime bench work, a real good piece of hardware is the ticket, and you don't have to deal with the soundcards or PC...etc.
But since I have the DAW right next to the R2R decks and mixer in my studio...the software version is a good choice for me.
I installed it and tried it out tonight for my Otari R2R alignment?and it works great!
Ran smooth-n-steady, and never crashed, except one time when I clicked on a couple of options while also trying to open a couple of its windows in fast succession while I was running a calibration on the software?s input.
That was a bit much on my part! ;-D
Plus?I never restarted the PC after I installed, though it didn?t ask for it.
But once I restarted, then the software was better at quickly recognizing my soundcards since I have 24 channels of A/D/A split up as 12 input and 12 output pairs?plus the same number of digital I/O channels?so it?s no wonder the software was a bit confused at first.
Anyway?works like a charm for doing the azimuth, plus there are quite a few other analysis tools built in, so it has many more uses.
Not bad for FREE software?though I will donate some $$$ to the guy via PayPal.
He put some serious work into this and it has value for me.
