I accidentally started working on a track in 96khz and now it's to the point where my computer keeps choking on it. Completely stripped the project down to the bare minimum and it's still pushing her too hard. This is one of those things where I'm not totally convinced it matters. Is there a human being that can really hear the difference between 44.1 and 96khz audio? What's the point?

In spite of my shitty monitor kit, I work entirely in 96K. Most people probably won't be able to tell the difference between two identical tracks composed entirely in one or the other, but I'm of the belief it's a decided advantage when operating and rendering at higher resolutions. I think any advantage I can muster will help with the quality - even that which might seem imperceptible.

cant you just change to 44,1? or do you have alot of recorded wavs? what daw you using? when i first started out i was using 48kHz 24bit rendering, but later figured out its pointless with todays standards. i really hope this will change though because there is a serious big difference. Hopefully DJ-CD players will be 96kHz 24bit soon (SACD be the standard in dj players). I said this in the 90s. Then came mp3 as a response lol. I was sad. Now im just numb.

44.1 Baby, on my lavry black DA10

Yeah for this one it's mostly recorded wavs. Usually I work with just MIDI data and record one or two tracks off the synths but if you bounce every track to audio you have a lot more control with EQing and what not. Using logic on a 2.4ghz MBP with an Intel SSD (should never have to go into freeze land with this thing)

.. or even a pair of Genelecs? I don't really think so. It's gotta get converted down to 44.1 anyway when all is said and done as Clay said that's still the standard.

Originally posted by CalvP You have the focal of dac power...now you just need the focal of focals Seriously though, you have a GREAT convertor. With a treated room, the yamahas could definitely be improved if that's what you're looking for? PS i hate you for having the Technics 1210 M5G! no fair

yup i guess thats whats left, the focals

The technics are great man

Originally posted by CalvP I'm saving for a pair of focal twins atm as it happens; it's absolute hell haha! the new sm9's look absolutely unreal, but way out of my price range. I'm gonna get a pair of twins (with the sub8), auratone mixcubes & ns10s & be done with monitoring forever. What size room do you have? the focal solos are also brilliant...the cheaper focal cms65s are great too. The m5g has to be the sweetest looking turntable of all time i still have a pair of the m3's...vinyl for life

I wanna get the Focal SM9, you can pick either pick 3 way or 2 way but its insanely expensive.
My studio is set up in my bedroom with out any treatment because of my laziness to buy foamtak.

okay can we talk about sample rate plz

sorry about that, anyway i tried mixing (DJ)(Traktor) in 96 and there is no difference meaning it wasn't easier or harder if that has to do with anything

yeah i'm going to treat my room when i buy a new mac pro, man i want the sm9 so badly. I think I'm going to upgrade to the air series for dynaudio
