I am sick of 44khz vs 96 khz argument from amatuers!

so then the Nyquist theory falls to shit after 44.1kHz sample rate?

No, I just don't think it radically affects the way we hear it. The top of our range is 20kHz, and most of us don't even score that high.
 
88.2 translates well because it is exactly twice as much as 44.1, the computer doesn't need to crunch as many numbers and there are fewer remainders from odd calculations.
many engineers mixdown to 24 bit 88.2

I have done listening tests at all combinations of bit depth and sample rates and it was one of the best combos to my ears.

yes you can notice differences in combinations, mostly regarding air, reverb clarity,reverb tails, clarity in general, and vocals, basically all aspects of the high end.
converters also make a difference that is noticeable.

there is also there, their and they're...but those are a little more complicated for some people...like the ones over there with their arguements about frequencies that they're hearing and claiming you can too if you listen hard enough.
 
I enjoyed this thread. I like how Father Time and The Seifer share the same recording engineer, and that the legacy of JMG and Bazzlad is in safe hands with "mornos" like this guy.

Hear, I tell you wot, no profffesional mastering house will except recordings with there lyrics spelt wrong. :D

What gets me is this guy's use of 'the business' as if it's some monolithic tower that only certain cool people are allowed into. We are all in 'the business' of making music and in 'the business' of recording music.

Whenever I hear someone talk about 'the business' it's a sure sign that they're either a wannabe or a huge asshole.

Exactly. And anybody that's really in the "business" knows they call it the "industry" anyway. :rolleyes:

Fuckin' poseurs.

If you think that dithering is just throwing out every other sample you are mistaken.
 
just my opinion, but i'd rather listen to a great song at 22/8-bit than some piece of shit at 96/24-bit.

frequency response, signal to noise, sonic clarity...they aren't the be all end all. you can turn out a listenable product with a four track and a couple 57's if you know your gear and how to use it.

And any label that would sign a band based on the sample rate of their demo rather than the actual music...that's just fucking retarded.
