Title: 16/44.1 > 24/96
Post by: hoyt on March 09, 2006, 01:13:30 PM

So, not sure if this is the right forum, but I somehow messed up a conversion of a show, and lost one track of the 24 bit version.  It's just the intro track, 40 seconds long, some talking that's it.  But I convereted all of the tracks to 16/44.1 from the 24/96 masters.  The intro track on the 16 bit version is still fine, but the 24 bit version is somehow only 49 bytes - no clue when or how this happened.  Considering it's only the intro track, can I just "up" dither and sample the 16 bit one back?  I'd rather not go through all the hastle of re transferring the stuff, splitting it up, etc...

Thansk,

Id say just dont include in your 24 bit source if it is indeed just crowd noise/intro track..  I personally like the "fade in/intro" track  to get a feel for the show before the music, but not to have it doesnt diminish the recording one bit IMO..

I am testing this now going from 16>44.1 to 24/96.  I will update in a few, actually testing this on a whole song.

Well, it was a weird concert because the lead singer was sick, and the intro track includes the bassist saying that he won't make it, but the show's going on anyway.  So in this case, I think the intro track adds info to the recording. 

And I did test it, I can go from the 16 bit to the 24 bit, but I didn't know if that would work if someone tried to burn it to DVDa, or if there would be some drawback...

Thanks,

The drawbacks enter into the whole 'range of human hearing' debate.
For that single track, I'm sure it's quite survivable and no one would ever be the wiser...
