But for what purpose? The POD outputs at a certain frequency and that frequency only. Why would recoding in 96kHz mean capuring better audio? Same goes for the bitrate.
I would understand if my POD had an output of 96kHz, and there fore I would record at 96kHz and not lower to avoid loss of frequencies.
Still trying to understand my friends.
NitB....
First off, I would not bother with an SB card if you're serious about recording. It simply is NOT up to even a semi-pro calibre.
Second, when you connect digital devices together, they all have to be communicating at the same language. You cannot generally mix sample rates, so you could not digitally connect a device clocking at 33KHz to another trying read the data stream at 44.1KHz.... so you would be connecting the POD outputs via ANALOG anyways....
Third, there's a lot of misunderstanding about the advantages of 24/96 over 44.1/16..... it really all comes down to the quality of the A/D converters. A high-quality 44.1/16 card will sound MUCH better than a poor-quality 24/96 card. By design (to keep costs down), SB cards simply don't have very good A/D converters. Period. You can do much better with more recording-oriented cards....
With regards to the question of why anyone would track at 24/96 when CD are at 44.1/16 is another common misunderstanding. The easiest way to explain the reason why would the process of computer graphics. If you scan a picture at lo-res, and perform hi-res digital processing on it, then scale it down again for printing, the results are FAR inferior than if you started with a a hi-res scan, stayed hi-res for processing, then scaled it down for printing.
One more thing - BITRATE oes not refer to 16 or 24-bit recordings. It is bit resolution, word length, or wordsize. BITRATE only applies to lossy-compressed audio/video formats, representing the number of bits transfered per second.
