By old a mean old recordings(more than 10 years). The opposite of what is currently used. I also believe that ADAT was mostly used in what is normally called B-studios or demo studios. Good studio taperecorders(ex. highend studer/revox machines) can go 20hz-35khz +/- 1 db if you use the proper tape. Seen i that light a samplerate of 44.1 is a step back, but maybe the digital signal is more "correct", but it is a fact that most people listening would like the sound from such a taperecorder better(maybe because the tape will cause some compression in the bass etc.) pfarrell;380240 Wrote: > > The point is that there is not lots of music recorded high-wide. > > > Today most studios are using protools and many of them are capable > of > > recording 24bit/192kHz > > For sure, 24/88.2/96 has been affordable for six or more years. > > That doesn't mean there are large libraries of music that is high and > wide, waiting for a tiny fraction of a percent of music customers to > demand that it be let free. > My point is that you can already get some 24bit/192kHz and now that the studios have equipment capable of it I think there will be more of them (despite people now being able to hear a difference). I just don't understand why build a transporter with a 192kHz D/A and then only clock it at 96kHz max.
