Scott,
I am really interested in this comment. To date I have been recording 24
bit/48K because those are the highest settings that my recorder will run
to, and I had been assuming that here bigger would be better.
Are there any downsides to using 48k for recording, then targeting 44.1
(for example), rather than recording 44.1 in the first place?
At the moment my recordings do not have any particular usage in mind, so
ideally I want to make them in a way that will not limit any unknown
future usage.
Thanks,
Richard
