Topic: Why 24/48?

[genesisoh]

Something that hasn't been mentioned is that editing in post using 24/48 files allows you to, for instance, raise very low levels and not introduce any significant his.  I find that the editing advantages make this format desirable.  24/48 files are not too large, so that editing speed is not hampered.  I imagine that higher numbers would yield even better editing results, but then speed will be an issue.  Just my 2 cents ... :-)

when compared to 16bit, sure, but if you're talking about in comparison to 24/44.1, I find that very difficult to believe...

Video. 48K is a standard for DVD and HD video.

thats why i do it
and 24/96 is overkill to me at this point in time

It has been a few months since I last recorded a show.  Recording 2 channels at 24/48 takes up 1gb/hour correct?

Correct, 24/48 = 1 gig per hour, 24/96 = 2 gig per hour.

Correct, 24/48 = 1 gig per hour, 24/96 = 2 gig per hour.

Obvious perhaps, but just to be clear, that's 2 channels (stereo) @ 24/48 = 1 gig per hour.

A minor advantage of 24/48 is that it makes for simple calculation of the memory required when recording multiple channels-
~0.5 GB / channel / hour.

[edit- my bad mr. kitty, I didn't see that you had specified 2 channels when you asked]
