Members Ethan Winer Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 Good article if a bit superficial. I agree with his assessment of Neil Young's statement. If you zoom in on analog file you get noise (film grain) that may or may not be worse than digital pixelation. It depends entirely on the resolution of each medium. In the case of audio (versus film), even 16 bits at 44.1 kHz has far higher resolution than any analog tape. --Ethan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philbo Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yeah, Ethan... but you DO get that free dither from the tape hiss... FWIW, I still use 24 / 44.1K when recording because it irks me to no end to hear reverb tails go into high distortion as they fade out. Nobody listening to my work outside my studio probably can hear it, but it drives me nuts and adversely affects how I mix.... It'd definitely be buried in the road noise if listening in a car or whatever... P.S. - I do feel that 20 or 22 bits would be enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
