I put the 88.2 is good because it's double 44.1 argument forward on a board and got a lot of people saying that it's not the same. That the precision of the downsampling process is a lot better now days etc. and you that's not a valid claim.
I mean I can see that in graphics when you have even numbers it would divide cleanly and you wouldn't throw away more than you have to.
I was working at 88,2 but it did cause a strain on my system and I was using up too much of my UAD resources. So I went back to 48k. Maybe it won't make my final product any better but I like working in 48k. I feel an extra crispness to the sound, even if it's a placebo effect, I'll take it.
If your making wma's (which is all I do) it doesn't matter any way.
Dither is only about bit depth, nothing to do with sample rate. (that's what I thought)
I started dithering the 24bit files down to 16 but leaving them at 48k. Does this play on other systems? This is something I was playing around with but it's a 48k wma. I didn't know they did that, I thought they automatically changed to 44.1 but anyway, does it play on a mac?
Thanks
