My new M-Audio Delta 44 soundcard supports 24bit/96Khz recording. Should I record my mixes at this quality and then convert it to 16bit/44Khz for audio cd's or should I just record at 44Khz in the first place?

It depends on what you are going to do.
If you are just recording your mixes, add markers to the files and, throw them on a CD, you don't need to go through the trouble of recording @ 96 Khz.
If you are planning to add effects (EQing, compression, etc.) at the final stage (Mastering), then it would be better to record at a higher sample rate and, downsample when it's ready to go on a CD.
If you choose to record at a higher sample rate, you may be better off recording at 88.2 Khz instead. I've heard it is better when downsampling to 44.1 Khz than 96 Khz.
Play around with it, and see what sounds best to you. :thepirate |
