Hello everyone, my knowledge in guitar recording is poor. At the moment my Aeros
it’s placed after the effects and I’m using it as a recording platform for ambient guitar loops which I then import and process in Reaper. I’m wondering, is the audio quality produced by Aeros adequate for this purpose or should I think about buying a sound card and recording with a PC to get a quality upgrade?
Many thanks

No matter how you approach getting ideas into it. You still need a functioning DAW for further production. Don’t know how it applies to ambient.
Signal Processing
32-bit Floating Point
Sample Rate
44.1kHz
Bit Depth
24-bit
I would prefer a 48kHz. Just because I believe there is less interpolation.
I would describe the Aeros as a portable 6 track recorder, and perfectly suited to what you describe. I import into Logic with no issues. As for the sample rate mentioned above, your delivery of a final master will likely be a compressed digital format, which nullifies any benefit to recording at a higher resolution. There are a lot of misunderstandings and opinions masquerading as facts when it comes to digital recording, but as always, it comes down to the music you are producing, not the method or the medium.

Many thanks for your reply!
I am using it now as a center piece for music composition at home and not in a band or solo gig.
Using a Tascam Model 12 Mixer with an 8-channel snake.
Plug in to that my guitar synth, guitar modeling amp(Dream 65), Poly D synth, and Beat Buddy.
Go out of the mixers sub outs into the Aeros, then out of the Aeros into the Mixer. Its a really nice work flow with the option to commit to the Model 12 for recording as the final stop and/or go to a DAW from the model 12. Working on using Aeros for arraigning and sub-mixing. Having fun now. lol!

I also use a Tascam Model 12 mixer to send all my instruments into my pedalboard through the Aux out, then back into the mixer, and then to the Aeros through the Sub out (and back into the mixer again). I record the result in the mixer. Although I’m currently struggling with figuring out why recordings are low in level and have a bit of hiss when I normalize the levels in the DAW, I find the setup to be ideal and very flexible. I didn’t get to take the loops from the Aeros into the DAW directly since I would need to trim the last 8ms of extra length that Aeros records to the loops to avoid clicks&pops at the loop inseam, and I’d rather just play live with it into the mixer.
