Hard drive space might not be an issue but you half the amount of tracks coming off each drive too. Any multi mike acoustic stuff defo sounds better at higher sample rates, would I bother for anything else, I dont think so. Slightly related I wonder does it make much difference from 88.2 to 44.1 or 96kHz to 44.1? Does the conversion process interpolate or just snip out the extra samples? We used the digidesign conversion algorithm as usual. I guess the difference was in the A2D conversion because the filters were much higher up and in the summing which I'd imagine would be more accurate at the higher sample rate. I also did some piano recordings at 192kHz more as an experiment than anything, the main thing I noticed was those recordings ate harddrives at an alarming rate! Though electric guitars etc don't go up that high the amp limits their range, so I don't imagine thats much of an issue. I find 88.2 much kinder to vocals when it comes to siblance. For drums and vocals I guess the higher sample rate is a good thing. There was a big difference between the 88.2 version and the 44.1 version, in terms of the stereo image and how solid the whole mix sounded. We did an orchestral recording a few years ago on multi-track at 88.2 and converted the session down to 44.1 afterwards. I take your point re 48 to 44.1 too excepting that a lot of mastering houses use Analogue gear with a play rig and a record rig so the higher the quality of the master the better the 16bit 44.1 kHz finished product. I could have picked the 44.1 /88.2 combo. Your points regarding 88.2 etc are valid. I agree with the processing /space point, though I guess space is hardly an issue these days. No difference at all ? I find that hard to believe from what I've heard. I remember reading somewhere (maybe gearslutz) that most commercially released records are done at 44.1. The conversion from 48 to 44.1 for music is pointless and bad for your sound. 48 is not a good idea unless you are doing sound for film which is 48 default.
#Superior drummer sounds best 48k drivers
I tracked drums at 96k one time to hear it but there was no difference I could hear.īig let downs are obviously double processing and hard drive space.Īudio drivers and disks have to work twice as hard when tracking and you loose half or your inputs when using an adat card.Īlso if you want to record at high sample rates, 88.2 to 44.1 is an easier conversion for obvious reasons.
