Hello there,

I checked the manual and yesterday I tried to record a song.
Did I understand correctly that there is no option to just convert a song to a wav file?
It has to be “recorded”.
And let’s say if I want to record all the tracks separately,
I have to do such a record for each track (making it Solo)?

To me this sounds a bit weird to be honest, but in worst case I can
also record just patterns and duplicate them in a DAW.
(Instead of recording the whole length.)

Best regards

Hello,

Instead of creating a new thread, I will use this one.
Another idea came into my mind.
I’m planning to buy a new PC with an extra sound card which has both Digital Out and Digital In.
I’ve seen the Motif XF6 has a Digital Out port.

Would there be any qualitiy difference/loss if I recorded
a WAV sample through the digital port rather than using Firewire?
Probably the only thing I would need to consider is the output level.
(In order to avoid clipping while it’s being recorded.)

I could use any Software (e.g. Audacity or Directly Cubase AI).

Best regards

The DIGITAL OUT of the XF is a 44.1kHz 16-bit S/PDIF output. Its content is the same as the main (L/MONO and R) line outputs, but before conversion to analog.

Thank you for your answer, but to be honest it’s not 100% clear to me.

I mean, if I record the sound through the Digital Output,
I will have a wav file at the end, stored on my PC.

If I record it by using the Firewire port, I will also have a WAV file.
(Also stored on my PC.)

Now if both WAV files get compared, will there be “any” difference?

Best regards

Whether from the DIGITAL OUT or via FW, it’s a digital stream that’s being recorded, and ideally the result would be the same.

Differences (if any) would relate to the interfaces and/or recording software, and their settings. Done properly, I wouldn’t expect a difference in the WAV files.
