so for archiving, which is not necessarily for the purpose of listining immediatly on my stereo, 48 or better is the way to go.
but for convience, 44.1.
i guess if there is ever a show that is priceless, (DGQ at the Botanic Gardens i consider $less) it should be recorded in 48 if not for me than for posterity. but i guess i shanked that one (44.1). oh well, still sounds fine.
i wonder if every recording is not priceless. most of the things i record i am the only one who has recorded and maybe, but hopefully not, who will record. the little local acts full of energy, age and quality are the ones that may pass forgotten and unheard. for them then, i should reformat my computer (it is damned) and learn to resample.
thanks all
luke
