*** POLL: AT WHAT FREQUENCY DO YOU RECORD?

[CareerTech1]

this is multiple choice

i forgot to vote for both 88.2 and 44.1 - but thats because i still work on older projects that i started in 44.1 - now my projects i start at 88.2

[andremattos]

88200 Hz

[YUGA]

44.1
But I recently got a new daw and so maybe I can move to 88.2 or 96.

[RusRant]

44.1

[CareerTech1]

paging Dr. George Necola...

sticky?

[George Necola]

nope..:D

music-computer was not ment for you only:D

48k here

[CareerTech1]

shucks

[darkwater]

48kHz here. Working mostly to picture for commercials, unfortunately. It's a 48k world.

Songs, I usually do 44.1.

[wwittman]

96k with the occasional 192

what are you running

[wwittman]

ProTools usually.
although I recently did a record on Radar


mix to either a second system at 96k or to analogue tape. (or both, although we inevitably use the analogue master)

[CareerTech1]

running Cubase4 im limited to 96K even though the fireface will do 192K

but i've stuck with 88.2 as my logic is the math is simpler to resample / dither from 88.2 32bits to 44.1 16bits than from 96K to 44.1 - please educate me / correct me in my likely erroneous ways

[Big Boss Man]

I use 44.1 so no down sampling is required. I am a little curious though as to what issues down sampling might cause. Is there a reason to go with even multiples of 44.1 instead of the maximum possible such as 96 or 192? Computers are designed to do complicated math so I would think this should not matter.

[LouD.]

Should I not be suprised at these numbers?
Why do so many people record at 44.1 when 96 is so common and 192 is available?

Is it a disk space thing?

[Revelation]

I clearly hear a nicer top end at 88/96. However I don't have a dual processor on my computer yet so I am a little bit limited to how many plug ins I can use on a song. Waves and some UAD plug ins also are optimized at the higher sample rates.

if you read the Daniel Weiss interview in my forum, you would get an answer.

[CareerTech1]

from what i read in there - it makes some sense to record and process at 88.2 with low pass filters - prior to resampling / dithering -

what do you do george?

Can't read the website =) I'm still english / french @ this point. Working slowly on my German.

P.S. to Original Poster : 88.2 Because of many reasons. =)

[ambiguity]

48 or 96k, depending on the project.

[NesNeedsGear]

44.1. I don't have the converters/monitors/room yet to hear any real benefit from higher sample rates.

Peace, Scott.

[the russian]

192, just because I can.

If you use lots of soft synths, the CPU usage will be very different...

Thanks, George.

That's perfect!

[Musiclab]

It depends on the project, either 96,48 or 44.1. All of my mixes are at 96

[16/44.1]

44.1kHz.
PCM 701 (emp. off)->PCM601->2xDTC77 (for simul. rec. or dat clone)->CDR620 (gold on gold archivedisc).
And for restauration (not very often) the FC1 by ADT with pc harddisceditor.
Standalone, or in combination.

[Rep]

24 / 44.1
With good converters, Higher rates become a Mute point ...

[slaves666]

Is there any benefit to tracking music at 24bit 48k? I usually do, but only out of habit. Should I goto 44.1, to save 1 less dither?
