POLL: Happy/Unhappy AND what sample rate do you run at?

[system]

Considering Windows defaults to 48Khz (when it works) you’d think that would now be the standard.

It’s the sample rate I most often use so I can empathize with others here and their issues and as pointed out by Mr Washington, tracking at 96Khz and dithering down in the pool is something I do when reworking (midi) drums.

Oh and where is this poll BTW

Dithering is not used when converting sample rates, it is used as the last stage of processing when changing the bit rate.
Say, from 32bit or 24bit to 16bit to finalise a mix, usually at the mastering stage.

• at 44.1KHz here.

I don’t notice too much of a difference when I downsample audio files in the pool but mostly like Dr Washinton I like to track at 96Khz and resample at 48Khz but I always stay in 24 bit.

So would I be right that only 16bit is possible using the CD format and the only way around it is to use DVD?
