Voxengo r8brain PRO

I'm a newbie to digital manipulation.  I took analog tape music in 4 channels (Crown CX844) recorded years ago.  These were put onto Alesis HD24XR at 88.2/24 bit for archiving.  We decided to burn the 4 channels onto CDs using SURCODE to encode to the fronts and surrounds.  I had to convert sample rate.  I played with the free version of r8brain.  Then decided, after input from Aleksey and Neil to get pro.  Very glad I did.  So easy to use.  Actually easier than free version.

In mastering work I often do (unscientific) blind testing where I'll A/B two files or settings (with my eyes closed) and see which I choose as better.  I did this with R8Brain PRO for some 48KHz to 44.1KHz conversions and easily and consistantly chose R8Brain over Wavelab's Crystal Resampler.  Just last night I stepped further to compare the R8Brain dither to UV22HR and was surprised to find I chose R8Brain Pro hands-down over UV22HR...  At least on that track I was working on, it was notably less cloudy.  You are making me look good...  I mean sound good!  Money very well spent.

After purchasing your mixing and mastering tools, and others.  My product has improved significantly.  I was having trouble getting airplay before because of sonic reasons.  As stated in previous correspondence if has been a financial hardship but the rewards are starting to pay off, perhaps because I own them I have a little more pride in my work.  After a couple more purchases I will be using Voxengo exclusively.
