44.1 kHz or 48 kHz?

[rafa1981]

Reverbs have no high frequency content. Many times a reverb can run downsampled.

Having said that, 48 or 44 might not matter, 48 "just" gives a bigger transition band between audible frequencies and the sample rate, so up/downsampling filters don't need to be that sharp. How it matters might be completely plugin dependent.

Are you mastering for dogs, cats and bats? then yes, use 96khz

LOL @ this thread being bumped, love it

It's about having headroom for non-linear processing and steep anti-aliasing filters, which produce an octave-wide phase ripple in the passband. I would rather have those brittle frequencies above 20kHz than all the way down to 10kHz.

Always working in 48 kHz at this moment.

I am they/them at the moment - Therefore I invented new standard. I work at 36kHz.

Reason or logic behind that? Ask one more time, and I am canceling you for being frequencyphobic.

I demand that everyone use and respect 36kHz from now on, or I will be upset.

Already way beyond that

i use 92 khz in cubase so my sharts and snare for that sweet room sound and it gives a bigger sound transition that phases quantum analog vintage sound that makes my mix pop, now if i change it back to 41 khz or 48 khz my samples sound like cheap toys

[jamcat]

Too soon

[VELLTONE MUSIC]

forget about 44,1,use 48khz.
Since i start using 48khz my stuff sounds way more natural.

[audiogoeroe]

48 because why not? Computers are more powerful today

[TMaudio]

Test it yourself. Then ask is the tradeoff worth it, since, going back to 44.1 will not be for free.

Over the years I realised that I don't mind if my drum one-shots are kinda lo-fi. I recently went ahead and converted all of them to 16-bit mono. The difference is barely (if at all?) perceptible by me. I can hear the shift to mono, but I don't really miss the stereo for drums, since I might pan them again when I use them. But usually I just use them in mono. I remember PRINCE once said drums are okay in mono, and I was like, okay, if it's good enough for Prince, then it's good enough for me. LOL

But anyways, I converted all my drums to 44.1 kHz because usually, if anything, my drums are too trebley accidentally almost all of the time and I like having the drums barely take up any filespace in RAM or hard drive.

All this downgrading maintains compatibility with my ZOOM R8 drum machine. So I can move back and forth.
However, when I do my final mixes, I bump up the quality to 48 kHz to accommodate the mix and the fact that 48 is standard now.
My DAW is set for 64-bit WAV internal engine, and I always render to 32-bit IEEE float WAV for final tunes which gets deleted after conversion to 32-bit IEEE float wavpack (*.wv). I do DAW glueing and editing operations at IEEE float WAV too.

All my soundcloud uploads are 24-bit 48 kHz FLAC.
I admit, I'm kind of finicky with this stuff, but this is honestly how I do it, right or wrong.

When I recently tried to figure out what was taking up so much space on my hard drive, it turned out to just be my tunes, and not much else. And my whole hard drive is really small. So I don't mind saving space however I can.

The ZOOM MS-70CDR uses single-precision 32 Bit floating point at 44,1 kHz with 24 Bit, 128 x oversampling then spits out 20Hz – 20 kHz.

Why do they produce cheap pedals for bats which cost 100 bucks. Doesnt even make any sense to me.

[eLawnMust]

8-bit at 22k WAVs very punchy... Go LOW!
