Being a cheapskate, I use linux as my primary OS.=C2=A0 libsndfile to resam=
ple from 24/192kHz to 24/96kHz and from 24/96kHz to either 24/48kHz or 24/4=
Message: 4.
Subject: 1kHz.=C2=A0 This seems to have the lowest noise floor and highest
clarity=
IMO.=C2=A0 I use sox on occasion to do some quick and dirty things.=C2=A0 =
But once downsampled, sometimes before downsampling I use audacity.=C2=A0 T=
o alter the EQ, the gain, hard limit the pops and clicks and stuff to maxim=
ize gain and other things.=C2=A0 Lots of options, some free / cheap and not=
completely hideous.
I used to just strive for trimming and adjusting gain to the max.=C2=A0 But=
you learn that you can't just do ONLY that in most cases.=C2=A0 Fake fur a=
ttenuates the high frequencies and you have to compensate or it sounds off.=
=C2=A0 Things in proximity can throw the gain out of whack.=C2=A0 And other=
annoyances.=C2=A0 You don't always have to adjust, but often enough to be =
happy to have a tool capable of it.=C2=A0 Since audacity ties into some nyq=
uist stuff you can do pretty much anything.=C2=A0 But sometimes the learnin=
g curve is too great not to use a more intuitive / pre-packaged commercial =
product.
