Title: 48 VS 44.1
Post by: neophish7 on January 25, 2005, 02:38:44 PM: Can someone please help with an explanation of these? Also alot of patches ive done come out 48 and I can only burn the 44.1 on my philips home cd burner. Is there a way around this?

Post by: F.O.Bean on January 25, 2005, 02:42:02 PM: maybe the cd burner resamples the data to 44.1k

44.1k is the standard for audio discs, its the only sample rate that cd players can pickup, so if youre main objective is to listen on audio discs, you have to resample the data to 44.1k

48k is just slighty better quality than 44.1k, although many would argue that the difference is audible

However, that being said, one is slightly better than the other, DAT vs. CD quality...

With everything moving forward technology-wise, I think DVD Audio will soon be pretty commonplace... With that in mind, I'm keeping all my 48k masters for that day I can really use them...

Can't remember the name of the program that lets you do this.

If your CD burner will not resample, you can go between them via analog. If you have SPDIF on your computer, dump the 48k to your computer and resample using SW, then burn a CD.

If you have no SPDIF on your computer, use analog from the D7 to feed your CD burner and just be sure to label the CDs lineage correctly.

You are the mercy of the deck upstream. If they feed you 48k, you'll record 48k.
