Hi all,
I've been lurking around here a lot, but now have a question of my own. With a recent project, I decided to mixdown to 24bit/44khz, instead of 16bit/44Khz which is what I have done in the past. After mastering the audio, I was puzzled by this sharp harsh sounding noise i'd get when playing back the file and boosting around the 16khz area.

Here is a link to a Radio Imaging Demo I slapped together this week. Its the 2nd Demo, 320kbps 44.1khz Stereo MP3. I have tried lower quality MP3's but it sounds really flat.

How do I get the fullness out of the stream like his demos?

Hi,
I have bought an M-Audio Delta44 to use with Cubase to increase recording clarity/headroom etc. I assumed the best setting then was to record at 96k/24 bit as per the spec of the card.
To maximise quality in clean tracks and resolution of reverb plugins (which still sound muddy) should I be using 32bit float?

thanks
Mark.

Greetings Forumsters -

32bit Float to 24bit fixed?

Hey everybody, I was just wondering if thw MOTU2408MKIII can play back at 24bit resolution or is it locked at 16bit.

hey Buddies,

wat i know is the maximum resolution for GarageBand is 16 bit right?
it don't support 24 bit?means,no other setting for 24 bit recording in GarageBand isit?

will GB upgrade to 24 bit soon?mayb GB 3?

I understand the theory behind bitrates and sampling rates, and I understand that they are correlated to resolution... but what are the benefits/downfalls from using higher/lower bitrates and sampling rates? In certain applications is it better to lower/raise them, or is it just always go for the highest number? Is it just to make smaller files?

If I'm exporting files from Cubase at 24 bit and they were recorded at 16 bit, am i doing damage to the file?

The reason being I have some files at 24 bit and some files at 16 bit and would prefer to master at 24 bit obviously.

As you can see I'm somewhat of a beginner so take it easy please

Hi folks,

I have an orig MOTU 2408 with 20 bit A/D.
I would like to record into Cubase with 24bit
recording switched on.

Is it ok to use 20 bit A/D with 24 bit recording?
For ex, will I get any unwanted artifacts?

Any comments greatly appreciated - thanks
