Revelation · 31st January 2006

I have 10 Gospel songs a client once to record in my studio. There will be over 10 tracks of midi on each song which we will convert to audio. The tracks will be string, brass, and percussion sections. My feeling is there is no advantage in recording them at 88 since most are 16 bit keyboard sounds. I am thinking about recording the tracks at 44, and then converting the audio tracks to 88 in my DAW. Then I would record the bass, guitars, and the vocal tracks at the higher sample rates.

Do you think this is a better way to record the tracks or do you think just recording at 88 is the better way to go? (I am using Mytek converters)
