Hey everybody...
I'm working on some stuff to put out together as an album...
There's just one thing. There's this song that has been recorded @ 16 bit /44.1 khz, via an M-Audio Mobile pre.
The song's a definite keeper, so it's gotta be on there.
BUT:
I'm about to replace my computer and am getting an E-mu 1820M to go along with that.
I will be recording at 24 bit and a higher samplerate (I'll just say it's a lot higher, let's keep the excact rate undisclosed to avoid endless yappin an fighting about samplerates, shall we
)
Oh yeah, I'm moving too... I've recorded in the back of my bedroom (with my back facing the room, front facing a curtain). Don't have a "room" sound in my recording really.
When recording my new stuff I'll be in a different, but more acoustically treated room.
I do hip-hop and this particular song consists of vinyl-samples, drumsamples and rap-vocals.
My new stuff will have vocals (both rap and singing), instrumental/vocal samples (just 44.1 16 bit like before), vst instruments, giga libraries, and some live instrumentation like bass guitar and guitar (probably at the higher rate)
In the end, I will be mixing my songs through cubase sx2 and an analog board, and then re-record it into my computer...
My question: since it's all going to end up on the same disc (wich will be mastered afterwards, by the way), will my good ol' song be OK amongst it's peers?
thanks

PS: re-recording is probably not an option, because of the emotional content of the song, it was some real "write today, record tomorrow" stuff I'd been carrying inside for a long long time...
