Digital-Analog Conversion of audio signal using VB-Cable?
Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2014 3:43 pm
Hi there,
i'm new to the field of audio processing - so i appologize in advance if there are some terms i may use wrong or do not understand correctly.
I want to record some audio source (already available in digital form) using Audacity while preservering the original quality of the source. Until now only knew the possibilty to capture the output of the soundcard, which of course involves digital-to-analog conversion followed by analog-to-digital conversion and thus leads to a loss in quality.
I now wanted to know if there is a similar conversion done using the VB-Cable driver - or if the audio source is kept in the "digital realm" for the entire process chain.
I'm thinking of something like this:
Audio Source ------> VB-Cable Input -----> VB-Cable Ouput ---> Audacity ---> Save as lossless audio file
Does the audio file at the end of the process chain look like the audio source?
Thanks in advance for your help
