今晩は, Gregg-san,
@phonon: Thanks! I do experiment a lot with the DC Filter with every track. I don't currently have the best monitoring in the world by a long shot, but I do hear "more effect" or "less effect" or "better sound" or "worse sound" when playing with the various options Elephant has to offer. It's very subtle though, but sometimes I can seemingly get the mix to "open up" a little without affecting any of the bass that I can actually hear. Will probably be a lot easier to work out once I get the ATCs!
The monitoring chain (...from preamp to acoustics) should be your principal investment and instrument. Without certainty there, all is speculation and anecdote.
And re: putting the SRC after the limiting, in an ideal world that's exactly what I'd do, but the SRC I use (Voxengo R8Brain Pro Full) often creates peaks 6dB or higher than the source file, sometimes going over 0dBfs, and so I have found it easier/less time consuming to put it before the limiting stage.
If what you put right after the ADC is SRC, (I suppose) ...don't. Just capture at 1x and shave one unnecessary layer of (theoretical) distortion from the chain in the "process."
But if you can set your levels to limit while still at 2x, your SRC will have a purpose - to share the beautifully-limited signal with the 1x clocks in your incus. (: The Lavry and Weiss real-time SRC's have the built-in feature of lowering the input signal's level so that the SRC output is less apt to clip. However, I don't think there's more than 3dB of attenuation, plus proprietary "brute-force cybernetics" that the designers won't share.
有り難う,
Andrew
