4852.0. "DIY Audio Digitizer" by BAHTAT::BAHTAT::HILTON (How's it going royal ugly dudes?) Tue Jun 25 1991 10:58

    Anyone out there made their own audio sampler?
    
    If so could they post experiences/pointers?
    
    Cheers,

I didn't build one. But bought a $50 (australian) mono audio digitiser the
other week. There is not a lot on the board. A couple of ICs etc.

Looking at it there can't be a lot to one. Basically an A/D converter putting
the digital info onto the parallel port.

But then I though $50 wasn't too bad a price - it works (first time).

    Gidday Mike,
    
    After using several 'low cost' audio digitizers including a home-made
    one and not being impressed with the quality of them I recently decided
    to buy Audio Engineer lus which is the hardware/software combination.
    
    In short the quality is amazing - even on a 10Khz mono sample the
    quality is far better than other audio digitizers that I have used. And
    if you have an accelerated machine you can sample in stereo up to 56KHZ
    :-) :-) :-)
    
    I feel that the Oz$370 I spent on this product was well worth it.
    
    Shaun.

Hi Shaun,

yep, that's certainly seems to be 'the' product for the moment. But I just
wanted an entry-level device to muck around with. I figured the initial
investment wasn't too steep, so if the device doesn't get much use, then
no harm.

    Well I found a DIY digitizer circuit diagram. I'll upload it when I'm
    next back. Just going to cost it up.
    AS I can't remember is the parallel port male of female?
    
    Cheers,
