The patent-pending dbx TYPE IV Conversion System allows you to retain the warmth and body you want in your signal while adding punch and depth, giving you the “big market sound you want. And the intuitive user interface puts all the mastering processes you need right at your fingertips.

dbx's intuitive operating system allows you easy access to the Strongest mastering toolbox ever released. A quick surf through the menu driven system gives you a glimpse of the packed feature set. Use the 4 band crossover with independent slope selection to split the incoming signal into 4 bands that are then each controlled separately for individual gating, compression, and limiting. A 5 band parametric EQ offers unprecedented control, with variable Q, adaptable or constant Q, and Lo and High shelving features, making the Quantum the most versatile and useful tool to use for all your mastering needs.

The Quantum also comes with the patent-pending TYPE IV Conversion System on board. TYPE IV captures the character of any analog signal to the digital domain in a way that defies description. With the help of TSE™ Tape Saturation Emulation, the Quantum retains the original warmth we all want in our Recording, while giving it the clarity and versatility we need in today's digital world of music production and mastering. You can also dither your signal down to 24, 20, or 16 bits using our custom dither algorithms. For more versatility use full MIDI/SysEx control, and internal/external sync capability. And by the way, if we ever change the software, you won't have to buy anything, just download the update from our Internet site and install it via the MIDI ports.

Recording

Sound recording is a form of recording or reproduction using electrical and mechanical translation of the sound waves. The sounds recorded are usually spoken voice, instrumental music, singing and sound effects. Audio recording can either be analog or digital. Analog recording uses a transducer such as a microphone to record sounds analogous to the air pressure surrounding the sound being recorded. The analog recorder may use a microphone diaphragm for acoustic sound recording. This microphone is highly sensitive to changes in the pressure of the acoustic sound waves. It records these sounds in graphic representations such as the phonograph that records grooves with a stylus. Sound waves from electronics can be directly reproduced from the pickups of an electric guitar or synthesizer. These are commonly used by musicians to hear how well they are doing during a recording session. Digital recording is the direct recording of audio or video into a storage device that records it as binary numbers representing the modifications in atmospheric pressure of the sound. The record can be stored and read back to be reproduced. This type of recording is more accurate and is more resistant to errors compared to analog recording. Both however have their own limitations. The analog system is bound by the capabilities of the medium and circuits used to record. In the digital system, the ratio of signal to noise is bound by the bit depth of the modification from analog to digital. Natural noise is a common limitation of both recording systems.
