Should I Record in 44.1kHz or 96kHz?
The question I am most asked concerning the studio is, what’s the difference between recording in 24/44.1kHz and 24/96kHz? The high resolution of 24/96kHz captures more information in the highs, mids and low frequency ranges.
This enables you to hear sounds that aren’t recorded in 24/44.1kHz. But you also need to have the top of the line converters to be able to hear and record this difference. We have found that Radar converters give us the best sound for our ears. When you output back to 16/44.1kHz you still have more information in the final product since it was recorded in 24/96kHz.Allowing you to hear more of the tonal qualities and the different frequencies in the music. Giving you a higher quality CD.

great comments on the recording tips, i love the Radar rig, we carry one on all of our remotes although its been hard to get the client base off of ProTools. I also still use the 2″ Studer’s on almost all of my label work, but again hard to get the clients as motivated about it as i am. They never fail to comment on how good it sounds, but that seems to be forgotten quickly when they want the flexibility of a DAW.

Ok. I believe you’re correct!…
