......and all who care to join in! Starting a new project and looking for advice, insight, ideas, knowledge, and inspiration. (all the stuff I get here at Gearslutz).. on to the point
I'm starting work on a project that was originally recorded live in a club, balanced splitter snake to a recording studio next door, to a Sony 3324. The sessions were recording at 48 /16. I transferred the sessions digitally via IZ UFC-AES/ebu to PT HD at 48/16 to be "finished" and then on to mixing.(I'll get to finishing in a sec) As live goes, the performances and sounds are pretty good and the seperation is remarkably good. Even though it will be a "live " cd, there' going to be some vocals redone or tuned (argh), possibly some instruments, and the drums beefed up. As for mixing the end game is uncertain. Could possibly be done through a console at a studio yet to be named, but most likely will be done in the box with my outboard toys. So finally on to my question.......
Would there be any advantage converting the sessions to 48 /24 or even 96/24 before ANYTHING is done? I can see the advantage for any new stuff recorded, but I'm wondering if this would be a plus when going out and back in to outboard during mixing.
Looking back I think I've rambled enough, thanks in advance for any and all input
