One can argue. If you are recording straight and then compressing it makes very little difference if you are wide (24 vs 16) or high (44.1 vs 88.2) I see no value in 48k samples over 44.1, its too close to care. But, if you do any signal processing, say scratch elimination, EQ to clean up, etc. then wider and higher are justified for intermediate steps. Most LPs don't have more than a 80dB signal to noise ratio, so wider doesn't gain much. But its easy to record wider, and you can then do better dithering. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
