| hi there.before work today i picked up a Echo Indigo I/O.before leaving i noticed quickly that the in/out are just rca's or some small cable....they are not 1/4" in/outs...so i guess recording from my synth will be poor quality? ill need another soundcard for recording in good quality? (its just for my laptop) thanks |

I have the Indigo I/O for recording. They have 1/8" input and output plugs. You can get a 1/4" to 1/8" plug that will connect your synth to your laptop. |

| btw Scott. yes i know you can of course convert from 1/4" to 1/8" but its the quality loss im debating.it will still have to go through 1/8"... |

Well Echo claims you'll still be recording at 24/96. I wouldn't worry about it. The lost of quality is too small for anyone but engineers to detect. |
