what sampling rate are you guys using

nymortgagepro · 23rd October 2006, 07:30 PM

what rate and why?

soundeq · 23rd October 2006, 08:28 PM

88.2kHz easy math to convert to 44.1
I find there's less need for eq on vocals at 88.2

crna59 · 23rd October 2006, 08:41 PM

2.8224Mhz because I can and I feel it sounds the best!

Regards,
Bruce

DSD would be nice, it's cool, but until the end-consumer gets DSD machines, it's all going PCM eventually... I do understand the wide to narrow pipe concept, and have thought of getting the Tascam DSD thingy with some nice converters.
You arn't multi-tracking to DSD are you?

xabiton · 23rd October 2006, 09:06 PM

16/44.1 because I don't need anything more than that

brian_delizza · 23rd October 2006, 11:07 PM

24/44.1

and sometimes 48

t.dizzle · 23rd October 2006, 11:26 PM

44.1 but I'll be switching to 96 or 88.2 as soon as I get a new computer that can easily handle it.

44.1 because it's easy and sounds fine. The higher sample rates do sound better in general though, at least to my urrrs.

Yup! Sure am.. I have a Genex GX-9048 going into a Pyramix DAW via MADI

I'm getting all kinds of jobs now that the Tascam is out.
BTW.. the Tascam unit actually does have decent DSD converters.

NesNeedsGear · 24th October 2006, 01:32 AM

24bit/44.1 mostly.

Methlab · 24th October 2006, 01:44 AM

**TonyBelmont** · 24th October 2006, 09:44 PM

24/ 44.1

azwun25 · 24th October 2006, 10:10 PM

24/44.1

con?one · 24th October 2006, 10:25 PM

24/ 48k (cause that was the default when i first started using the system i'm on now, and think it sounds just fine

)

johndough · 25th October 2006, 07:31 AM

24/44

Osten Powers · 25th October 2006, 02:16 PM

24bit / 44.1 kHz too!

Tony Shepperd · 25th October 2006, 03:34 PM

24/48

Samplecraze · 25th October 2006, 06:08 PM

24/96.

I find it helps in more effective and analogue-like high end EQ adjustments, more accurate and faster responding dynamics, and much more accurate peak level metering.

But this is only noticeable in certain scenarios.

16/44.1 · 25th October 2006, 07:00 PM

16bit/44.1kHz.
Because all the recordings will be archived first to cd-r.

chandlersonic · 25th October 2006, 07:53 PM

24/44.1, I think the bit rate is much more important, I do hear a difference between 16 and 24. I've worked with 96khz quite often and could never tell the difference except for once, I was recording a 4piece string ensemble and at 96khz, I really felt like I was sitting in the middle of the room, but who knows maybe it was just a better take, or I really wanted to hear the difference and it was all in my head

.
Anyway, 24/44.1 is just fine
