Hello my question is

When should I convert to 44,1 kHz when product should be an Audio CD ?
Before my Mastering-Chain or as the last step in Mastering, before Dithering.

http://src.infinitewave.ca/ is an interesting link on Tests for this item

Best regards
Thomas

i`ve done some test now with my setup (ITB)

Best solution for me is
Mix 88,2 kHz --SRC to 44,1 kHz -- Mastering -- Dithering

Mastering with 88,2 Khz is very good also but i have the problem with the SRC after.
I will have overs after SRC , and when i insert a Limiter after the Chrystal Resampler, the sound will become more pure.......

overs after src? lower the gain after src. if your src output is
floating point, and your gain algorithm is proper: then any
other change to the sound will occur waaaay below
the 16 bit or even 24 bit noise floor.
then dither to 16 or 24 bits.

in practise, i tend to do a dry run to measure actual post src levels,
and then i make a revision at the master fader output before src.
