Making a Digital Recording
The MP1100 Digital Outputs (Coaxial, Optical and
USB) have a setting of 96,000Hz 24Bit resolution.
Before proceeding it is important to change the McIn-
Figure 110
tosh Audio Control Panel default resolution settings of
44,100Hz 16Bit to match MP1100 setting of 96,000Hz
24Bit. Refer to figures 13 and 14 (on page 26).
Digital CD Audio Recorders can be connected to the
MP1100 Digital Audio COAXial or OPTICAL Output
to make a Digital Copy of a Phonograph Recording.
The most versatile way of making a digital recording
is by using the USB Connection between the MP1100
and a computer using a Digital Recorder Application.
There are many third party Applications available for
Figure 111
creating Digital Audio Albums. An example of just
one of the available applications is "VinylStudio" by
Alpinesoft.
