Phil replied: if you record at a higher bit rate then, you will get a lot more
head room. Also instruments such as bass guitar, drums etc, have more depth to
them, even after you come down from 24 bit, to 16. Working at higher sample
rates, could be worth doing if we all were not mastering for Cd. I don't
personally think it's worth doing as you need a lot more band with and CPU
power to work at say, 96 or, 192.

Hi guys. I didn't mean to imply that Caketalking affected sampling rates in
anyway. Unfortunately, I no longer have the message from Gord on the subject
but he said something similar to Phil. For those who feel that way, why in
your opinion does bit rate matter more than high sampling rates? For that
matter, the over-the-top sampling rate of 192 has become a possibility for some
of us. Why stick with 44100?
Bob.

I know that there have been some issues with recording softsynthes like
Dimension Pro in earlier versions of Sonar at hi sample rates. Personally, I
would stick with 24 bit 44.1. but hay, that's just me.

I remember trying to record Dimension Pro at 96 KHZ and most of the
patches were screwed up in some way. Gordon Kent said at the time that high
sampling rates had never truly been tested with Cake Talking but this may have
changed recently.

If you already recorded a project at a given sample rate, you're stuck
with that sample rate for that project. I'm pretty sure that the only way you
can get your soft synths to record at 96K is to start a blank project with that
setting. The reason you're getting the unsupported error is because your
original project may be recorded at a different sample rate, say, 48 or 44.1.
In a pinch, you could copy your MIDI tracks and paste them into a new project
at the desired sample rate if you don't wat to reperform your parts. In
addition, there are some cards that only record at certain sample rates. It's
possible at the Edirol you have will only go up to 48K. You'll have to check
your documentation or visit the web for more information on this.

Subject: [ddots-l] sample rate question
Hello,
I'm trying to switch the sample rate on my edirol card to 96khz.
However, when I open a sonar project, it won't play it and i get an error
message that says something like, "the current audio format is not supported by
the soundcard," or something like that. I know the rate is switched to 96 in
sonar's audio options. The only audio in this project is softsynths. My only
guess is that the softsynths don't support 96khz sampling rate. Is that
correct? If that's the case: is there a way to record/convert those instruments
so that they will play at 96khz?
Thanks.
