Are we mixing two things in this tread recording and playback ? Are they not all kinds of very good reasons to record at higher rates 24/96 produce the thing and then properly normalise downsample and dither and have a well produced 16/44.1 CD . And this sound just fine , it is very likely that most of us would fail to abx this.
Is this not in fact the typical mo of modern recording ? ( with the destructive loudness war phase removed ) Dow sampling well done modern hirez production is one thing to abx . ( not one off hdcraps 45y old analog rock classics I bet here 14bits are ok ). I can donate some itrax tunes ( aix ) for the purpose or a chesky . But recording all tracks at 16/44.1 and then produce the whole shebang at this rate ? And do the same process at higher rate in parallell ? This would be interesting to abx. The pro's that are in this tread, are there any ADC's you would consider transparent especially one that also can do 16/44.1 as oposed to the modern 24/48-192k setting and have > 1 of them ? Wombat or phil may be able to find studio time ? Afaik your studio software would remeber what you did when producing so repeating these steps would be feasible. What would a modern DAW do whith 16/44.1 original data would it upsample and turn it to 32 bit floating piont data so that all plugins eq and stuff would work transparently ? Can this be defeated ? Anyone any good at singing or playing ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
