| Indeed, this topic has been widely debated and discussed here, but I have a question a previous poster brought up....
For those of us that use softsynths / samplers in our productions mixed with live recording inputs, what's the consensus? I have a pretty jacked-up 8core mac pro (raid arrays, 12g of ram, etc etc), and I still can't run most of my software instruments reliably above 44.1k... surely others have noticed this as well? I called East West Quantum Leap, who makes one of my frequently used instruments, and they told me that their products were designed to be used at 44.1, and may or may not (ie, unsupported) work at higher sample rates, and that's an industry standard for hollywood orchestral stuff etc.
Sure I could print a mix of my instrumentals and track vox etc in a new session at 96k "just in case" and then keep two sessions, one with editable softsynths at 44.1, and one with printed instruments and vox at 96k, but boy oh boy that workflow sounds painful...
What are people doing on this front?
Thanks! |
