How do I make sure I get the best audio quality from the Overture 192 audio interface?
There are various steps you can take to ensure you get the very best out of the Overture 192 Audio Interface. Firstly, make sure that the files you are using are the best possible. Playing a 64kbps MP3 file is always going to sound bad, so have appropriate expectations. On the other hand, a high resolution, 24-bit, 192kHz sample rate FLAC file will probably sound as good as it gets – files like this are often called “Studio Masters” and for good reason. Remember a CD is pretty good quality – that’s 16-bit 44.1kHz sample rate by comparison, so a “Studio Master” file should sound far better than a CD of the same material. Secondly, getting set-up properly is important. Every time some bit of software modifies the audio path then distortions, noise and “bad things” can be very quickly introduced. Therefore, turn off as many of these horrors as possible. For example, graphic equalisers, SRS sound enhancers, 3D effects, room modelling features, spatial enhancements and volume attenuators et
