Hey, quick q here. I have up a (beautifully recorded) session at 96. What am I losing if I knock it down to 48 to mix?
Should add, I don’t HAVE to. But I’d spare myself swapping out ADAT cables 2-3 times a day.
Thanks!
PS apologies for putting this up in Classifieds earlier, didn’t realize where on the site I was when I posted. It’s deleted.

I probably shouldn't answer because I don't have a ton of time on 96...but unless you're going to offer it in HD, no one is going to know the difference. And does apple off over 48 with this new lossless streaming?

Depends on what you’re doing.
It’s probably not that big of a deal, especially in regards to the SRC process. Provided you use good software to downsample, you likely won’t even notice.
Where you might hear a difference is in the processing. Many plugins sound different at different sample rates, as do most converters. If you’re going DA/AD through a lot of outboard, the sample rate you choose will affect the tone.
But that doesn’t mean you’re losing anything. 96 isn’t objectively better than 48. I’ve heard of people preferring 44.1 on friggin Prism ADA-8XRs. On my Aurora, I constantly go back and forth between 48 and 96. Sometimes 48 just sounds better to me.
Experiment and use your ears. No right or wrong way to do it.

I’d stay at 96 to mix if you’ve got the CPU to handle it. IME, a lot of plugins sound better at x2 rates. |
