Sample rate Why start with the sample rate? In a recording, you need to start at the end and work backwards. If you record at the CD sampling rate of 44.1Khz, that's not only not ideal, it is not ideal for the internet. So most recordings are recorded in the wrong container, and although you

snip 44.1kHz is fine for most things.  96k is great too, if you're one of the one's that think that that they can hear the difference.  Try an ABX test before thinking that it's true for you.  I agree however, that for very serious recording, a higher rate should be used. I don't think 44.1 is

I suggest you google ABX, get the software, and blindly compare sample rates above 44.1kHz. Then do the same for various bitrate .mp3's and FLAC. On 11/7/2013 4:04 PM, David Tayler wrote: snip 44.1kHz is fine for most things. 96k is great too, if you're one of the one's that think that
