Logic 5.5 on P.C. - new SATA drive sample rate problem :-S

Hi,

I've been running Logic 5.5 quite happily now for over 2 years, since starting work in a studio and wanting to be compatible with everone else without buying a Mac.

Always wanting to make my audio machine faster and better, I recently bought a 150GB Western Digital Raptor, 10k rpm SATA drive. ("the fastest non-SCSI drive available")

Converting 16-bit to 24-bit

hello

I have some older sessions in 16-bit 44.1 kHz. i am going to re-track the vocals for the sessions using newer equipment which is capable of 24-bit up to 96 kHz.

Is there any benefit to converting the 16-bit audio into 24-bit and work in a new 24-bit session (44.1) for recording vocals?

or should i leave it in 16-bit, and record the vocals at 16-bit depth?
