what do u guys usually set yours too??...........on my firebox i think it was default to 44.1k....is there a big difference between others?? do u record at hire sample rates?
 
 
Always 44.1/24-bit unless I'm doing work for video (which is very rare) then it's 48/24-bit.
 
It'd be 66.15k if that were an option. But since it's not (yet), and 88.2k is way overkill, it's 44.1k for audio and 48k for video for me.

44.1 and 24bit. I tried 88.2 and 24 and really didnt notice any difference. Just slowed my pc a little.
 
192KHz/64-bit. Can't beat that. Oh and my converters use digital tubes. So yea...basically it kicks ass. It's like analog, but only digital...a digital/analog mix with the digital tubes.
 
24 bit /48khz (Pro Tools). Also run 64-bit / 96khz in Sonar.

You do realize that your converters are not 64 bit. They are just 24 bit.

Yeah? 1215/24 here.

that can't be right.


Are you supposed to count the cat?
 
24/44.1 - If that's the limiting factor in your recordings, you wouldn't need to be asking anyone on here any questions.......

And he's using video rates for audio... But whatever... On some other forum today, some guy was saying that recording at higher "bit rates" (I'm not sure whether he meant sample rates or bit depths) makes it louder.
 
but why not make 10 as loud as eleven and have it only go to ten?

having a spinal tap moment?

I'm SO using that quote at work... :)

No, 64-bit audio does exist. It just isn't a format that any hardware natively produces. 64-bit floating-point audio is used as an intermediate format by audio applications for routing audio between plug-ins. Most apps just use 32-bit floating-point audio, but a few apps do use 64-bit.

Floating-point audio has one advantage over integer: it degrades more gracefully. Instead of being linear in nature, floating-point numbers are based on a fractional part and a power of ten. (Think scientific notation.) Thus, larger numbers have lower precision than smaller numbers (but still at least as much precision as 24-bit integer audio). The advantage of this is that when you do something that lowers the overall gain, the extra precision available for small values means lower quality loss. In effect, by using floating-point audio in your effects chain, you can put off gain staging until the end of the process.

That said, it is not currently practical to create a floating-point ADC or DAC. A few experimental floating-point ADC/DAC designs exist in various university science labs, but as far as I'm aware, all commercially-available ADC/DAC hardware operates natively in integer format (generally either 16-bit or 24-bit). It is not at all uncommon for drivers to convert this into a floating-point format for actual use, of course, but the converters are not providing floating-point data, and thus, the precision will never be greater than that of the underlying integer-based converters.

There is a 64k rate that is available in many DAWs, but is generally not supported in hardware :mad:
 
I wonder what audio would sound like when recorded through a 64-bit converter? And of course played back in 64-bit with the DA? Any different you think?

I honestly don't hear a difference in a single track recorded in 24-bit vs one in 16-bit. But then again I'm using computer speakers. :D And I'm half deaf from listening to music too loud in headphones...:(
