I have an Edirol R-09 recorder set to record at 96khz/24bit but I only use the internal mics to tape, no externals. I usually just convert the recordings down to standard 44/16 in post when I'm making files for distribution. However I just taped a band that I know some people might like in the 96/24 format but my question is, is it worthwhile? The file sizes are huge given the length of the show and I don't know if its worth it for just internal mics. I usually don't even keep the masters in 96/24 for other shows as I can't listen to them properly myself.
