POLL: What Sample Rate/Bandwidth do you use for recording?

[Farview]

I use Samplitude which supports both 16 bit integer or 32 bit float files. I'm not sure at what point it may convert to 32 bit float if using 16 bit wavs. possibly stating the obvious.

It only gives you a choice of the resolution stored on the disk. All processing is done at 32 bit float. Samplitude makes the conversion on the fly.


(BTW, you can choose 24 bit as well)

Almost all DAWs do processing at 32bit float. I can't think of a computer DAW that doesn't.

ProTools HD?

ProTools HD?

You're right, they are processing at 48 bit fixed. It still gets backed off to 24 bit before you hear it, there are no 48 bit converters. (and no reason for any)

So I'm surprised nobody jumped on this, but he asked "What Sample Rate/Bandwidth do you use..."

I'm assuming he meant Bit Depth, not Bandwidth?

Okay, back to the thread...

Hehe. I didn't even notice the title. My mind read it is bit depth. Guess our brains have an autocorrection mechanism.

Okay guys - What Sample Rate and Bandwidth do you use for Recording?


Somebody just told me he records at 24-bit/44.1khz

And that kind of surprised me - I was positive he was using at least 96 khz since he's recording in Neuendo (I just didn't see the point in spending that kind of cash for a software like that and then just recording at 44.1khz.)

You mean samplerate and "bit depth". Not bandwidth.
