On normal speakers you'll hear no difference but listen on a pair of expensive full range monitors and you might just hear it. Set your sound card to 24 bit 48 and sonar to 24 bit 48 KHz and you're set to go. Remember you'll have to dither back down to 16 bit 44.1 to play the stuf on standard cd format players. Converting from 44.1 to 48 won't give you better quality just a bigger file. -original message- Subject: [ddots-l] 48 versus 44.1 for recording From: "Brian Howerton" <bshowerton1@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 25/03/2011 21:57 Hello folks, I was wondering if there is a noticable difference in recording at 48 versus recording at 44.1... FOr those who do record at 48, is it a noticable enough of an improvement to make it worth switching? If you wanted to experiment and record something at 48, besides changing the sample rate on your audio interface, and going in to the options menu and audio in sonar, is there anything else you would need to do to make this switch? Also, how would you convert from an existing project that was recorded at 44.1 to 48? Thanks fro your help, Brian PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
