True, although many producers will work at these higher bitrates/frequencies for the extra headroom and higher quality and THEN dither to 16bit/44.1khz. I find the TrueTape 32bit facility a godsend when doing the final mixdown - saves me having to worry about clipping.
Even if your soundcard doesn't support anything higher than 20bit it's well worth upgrading to CubaseVST32 5.0, as all 32bit operations are performed on the cpu when doing mixdowns (I think), meaning anyone can take advantage of this useful feature.

There are maybe ways of getting better results, but if it sounds good enough, and it's at what is still the industry standard for consumers, it should be fine. -----Original Message----- From: Hugh G. Blaze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 28 March 2002 04:47 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: Final recording - 16 bit recording Here's an offshoot on this thread... I have an older version of Cubase (3.65) that only supports 16-bit recording (I think). In any case my Layla soundcard is a little older, too and I know for sure it only supports up to 20 bit. So my question is this: Is 16-bit sufficient for final mixdowns? I've been using it to record all my tracks. Honestly, they sound better than the recording I've done using my DAT ( a pretty good Tascam). What's the verdict? ____________________________________________________________ _____ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________________________ _________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by UUNET delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Control Centre.
