Description

In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuous-time signal to a discrete-time signal. A common example is the conversion of a sound wave to a sequence of "samples". A sample is a value of the signal at a point in time and/or space; this definition differs from the term's usage in statistics, which refers to a set of such values.

A sampler is a subsystem or operation that extracts samples from a continuous signal. A theoretical ideal sampler produces samples equivalent to the instantaneous value of the continuous signal at the desired points.

The original signal can be reconstructed from a sequence of samples, up to the Nyquist limit, by passing the sequence of samples through a type of low-pass filter called a reconstruction filter.

converting a 48k tracked session to 44.1k CD?

Hey guys,

I tracked a session at 48k using a Focusrite preamp. I mixed it. I mastered it, but when I went to bounce and convert to 44.1 for CD burning, the conversion didn't happen properly, and thus my recording has been tranquilized. Can someone give me some suggestions (aside from "don't track in 48k")? Thanks!

Clipping when recording at 24/96k on Delta 1010

Hey everyone,

Started setting things up for our project studio and when running the card through its paces, we found that if we recorded at the 96k sample rate things sounded like they were clipping. All of the sources were not, and when we lowered it down to 24/44.1 everything returned to normal.

DDP + finalizer 96k + masterlink ?

hello every one . i was wondering is it possible to take a stereo track out of a computer thru MOTU 828 mk2 to the dbx DDP and thru the finalizer 96k and to the masterlink without it sounding all messed up or getting some kind of digital flanging or will it be ok and sound good ...sorry if its a stupid question and thanks for your time ...max

Is 96K that good?

All of the bands I've recorded have been 44.1 expect one. I recorded this band at 96K and I noticed a difference, but it's hard to say because it's a completely different band with completely different gear. Is it worth it to record at 96K? What exactly is the difference? I searched to see if this has been tackled but didn't come up with much.
