I just recently found that 88 24 works well for me after 2 years at 44.1.

The vocals should be recorded at the same resolution as everything else in the track (otherwise you'll have to convert everything else to match).

If you haven't got any other tracks laid, then I'd suggest using the highest bit depth available (eg 24) and either the same sample rate as will be required for the masters, or a multiple of it. Ie if the masters will be printed to CD at 44.1, then use 44.1, 88.2 or 176.4, depending on the available disk space, bus bandwidth and CPU cycles. If the output will be to visual media at 48kHx, then use 48, 96 or 192 - again depending on available resources.

Thanks a lot for replies
The output will be normal audio CD . Yes , I haven't other track laid .. it is electronic music , some tracks are only "frozen".
So do you recommend to me too , to do mixdown of all tracks in 88.2/24 resolution ?

Tracking at 88.2/24 would be ideal - provided you have enough disk space and CPU power to support it. Maybe a trial run would be in order if you're not sure.
