I'm curious to know why you think this? If done properly there should be NO difference between resampling through any audio application and resampling "on-the-fly" during burning. I find it a lot easier to leave the material at 48KHz, then let WaveBurner do it's converting when it burns it to CD. I've compared resampling prior and WB's resampling while burning and can't tell any difference between the two.

I think there is a HUGE difference between audio applications when it comes to resampling.  Ever tried using the built in windows codec for resampling?

How did you test?  What were you listening on?

I don't know Waveburner but I'd strongly encourage you to try out a few different apps and settings before burning more discs.  Resampling is a huge number crunching exercise and the higher quality conversions always take longer.

Why not record in 44.1 if CD is the destination?

I'll answer the first question first: WaveBurner is a professional tool designed so that you work with your files in 24-bit format up to 96 KHz. They provide plug-ins so you can do all your work in WB without modifying the original content. They use the original source material then, downsample and dither are done at time of burning using one of several POW-r routines.

For those curious check out Emagic's web site http://www.emagic.de for more detailed information about WaveBurner Pro. If you own a Mac and want to make true redbook CDs, I highly recommend this product. There is a downside, it was selling for about $299.00 USD last time I checked. I was fortunate enough to get a version with an Emagic audio card, but then I sold that card and they allowed me to upgrade for less than $150. Currently this product is not Mac OS X compatible (which isn't a problem for me since I haven't upgraded my Waves plug-ins to Mac OS X).

CD is NEVER my destination, it's DAT. CD is just the by-product of people not wanting or having DAT. I prefer DATs and listen to my DATs as much if not more than CDs. Also while slight, there is a difference between 44.1 KHz and 48 KHz (at least if you believe Nyquist).

you would be MUCH better off resampling thru a wave editing program...try samplitude 6.0 or cool edit..they HAVE to be leaps and boundz over nero 8)and if that noise is being heard, its NOT resampling... :)

Bean... I know you are as much a transfer slut as I am.  What do you find to be most secure.  I always just resample with wavlab while its loaded in there, but is cool edit of samplitude more secure???  Just asking bc I think you use wavlab to record and im sitting here wondering why you didnt mention it to resample  ???

Good answer - showing my MAC ignorance again.  I figured it was just one of many all-in-one burning programs.

As far as CD never being your destination, again good reasons for the 48k (and I don't disbelieve Nyquist...I just don't have a 48k playback solution to hear it for myself!)

i have wavelab 4.0c, and while i could never tell a difference, i trusted the good ole ppl over on this board and they say there are problems w/ 4.0c, and not 4.0g, so i have samplitude 6.0 to do the resampling and saving and use wavelab strictly for recording... 8)also, i noticed that samplitude takes longer than wavelab to resample....as rabhan and i were discussing a few weeks ago, if it takes longer, it must be doing a better job, right??i seem to think so, but whatever, i have 48k flac backups just incase... ;)

and i havent tried yer wave burner(soundz nice), maybe it does a better job resampling, i dunno, i might have to give it a try......

Of course that would mean upgrading to a Mac since Emagic never made this product for the Windows and now that Apple owns Emagic I doubt they ever will.
