This is not a computer question ... but it concerns digital audio, which I think fits in at this forum.
I have a bunch of tracks that were recorded at 20bit/48kHz onto ADAT ...
I want to transfer them onto a HD recorder (through lightpipe) ...
can I get away with just recording them at 24bit/48kHz ... or do I have to keep them at 20 bit to avoid any glitches in the audio?
If I can transfer them at the higher depth, do I need to dither (or ... ummm ... I guess "UNdither" in this case)?
I've transferred one song and it sounds OK to me ... but I'm wondering if there's a rule I should follow.
Thanks much
