Universal Audio 2192
The 2192 Dual AD/DA Converter is the first product to combine Universal Audio's long history of creating high-quality, vintage analog gear with its advanced digital technology. While features like sample rates up to 192K, realtime transcoding between AES/EBU, S/PDIF and ADAT, and support for single and dual wire AES modes are sure to impress, what really sets the 2192 apart is its John Hinson-designed Class-A analog circuitry, which provides luscious detail and clarity, while retaining the warmth and character of the original source, features typically not found in digital units.

| Synchronous |
| In general this term is used to describe things that are somehow coordinated in time. In signal transfer it usually means that multiple devices are synchronized to the same clock, which typically means information can move from one to the other without extra layers of handshaking and confirmation. For example, a S/PDIF transfer of digital audio data is a synchronous transfer, i.e. it happens at the rate of a synchronized clock signal (at the sample rate). It is more or less "assumed" that the information arrived in tact, though some systems still employ various types of confirmation protocols. In fact, in some contexts, contrary to the above, synchronous data transfer requires that each communication respond in turn before initiating a new communication, which keeps them synchronized. |

| Using older Cubase files in new Cubase applications. |
Q: "I'm afraid to upgrade my Cubase system because I don't want to lose all my old sequences. Does the new versions of Cubase open up older Cubase files?"
Cubase SX and Cubase SL can both import older Cubase files (version 3.x and later). From the Import Menu, simply choose the "Cubase Song Import" function and you're set!
These days the vast majority of applications on the market are, in one way or another, designed to be an improvement on another app. Consequently the ability to be able to read files from other apps, whether they are simply older versions of the same program or another "competing" program, has become an important feature and is usually included to varying degrees in just about everything. |
