Hey,
I could have sworn that I posted this message here before but I can't find it.
I just went 24bit and I would like to get straight on just how to maximize my sound quality for the eventual CD.
My soundcard support suggested that if I record analog in, that I should sample at 44100 as there would be no appreciable difference sampling at a higher rate since I'll be sampling back down for CD. Any gains would be lost.
My card is capable of 96000 in the digital format however. Am I correct in assuming that if I used my digital 4track to record and sent my tracks digitally, not optical, into my computer I could maintain the 96000 sample rate and better sound quality even though I would be eventually sampling down to 44100 again?
Would I gain any sound quality using this method of recording?
Thanks,
Rusty K
