| id stick with 44,1kHz 16bit for one reason. mastering companies and record companies and beatport can up the mp3-rendering. it happened to my last release on a diferent label and the whole release got ed up, no one understands where the up happened but the mp3 sounds terrible. i think the whole new album from whirloop experienced the same beacuse he renders at 24bit 48kHz, not sure about this one but i remember reading alot about it on JooF forums. stay with 44,1kHz 16bit in your final render to keep away from problems, there are many people out there not able to do their work right so if u can make it easier for them do it to avoid like I experienced!!! Recording synths etc, do what u like. |

That's my take on it.
Essentially, what's being accomplished is nominal but in the end game, to my thinking, every little bit counts. It's part of my production process to pay attention to things I actually want the listener to ignore. No one's going to go, "Great job! You used a high-resolution master on this one, Eddie." With rare exception do people notice how my hi-hats are layered and panned, either. |

Will that be one lump or two? ;) |

I work at the highest possible quality I can so that's usually 24 bit 96k. It lets me hear more during the production process and therefore gives me a better chance of doing a better job.
Don't get me wrong, if you can't make sweet music at 16bit 44.1 then higher quality isn't going to help you but the only limitation for me is CPU power and HD space, and I have enough of both so why not.
I'd never submit anything other than CD standard for commercial purposes but my master is going to be the bast I can possibly do. Just because the consumer standard is lower, doesn't mean I have to compromise during the production process. |

What are you guys rambling about ? :D
The end product is going to be 16 bit anyways, and even worse, a 320 kbps mp3 file at best. |
No it won't unless there is a sudden surge of listeners who encode their own mp3s. The end product is what YOu release, not what people do to it.
That is like Lamborghini selling a pile of junk because "the end result will be a car wreck"... |

Yeah you`re right, I mean who the hell uses mp3 ? |

| 320 isn't the highest bitrate you can get with mp3. And most people I know listen to wavs |

It is the highest for download portals, and the highest for the whole mp3 standard as we know it. (Yes, then there is the MP3 HD format, i know. )
Do they ? that is good for them, cause i dont think i know a single soul who listens to wave files without it being from a released CD. |

You can get wavs for music, and it doesn't have to be a released CD :P I know people who dj and they just use wavs [i wonder if they are still djs?] ..and nothing else.
Also you can use .ogg |

And FLAC etc. but the wast majority of music these days are played as mp3, because hardly anyone is able to tell the difference. |
