I have recorded an acoustic guitar rhythm track at 48K sampling rate with a bit-depth of 24 on a mono track, it just sounded better at 48k 24 bit. Now, I want to use that rhythm track in a 44.1k 16 bit stereo file.’ My questions are these: Question #1) what happens to the audio data if I copy it from the mono track in the 48k 24bit file and paste it onto a stereo track in a 44.1k 16bit file? What kind of internal conversion is going on behind the scenes in AmadeusPro?
question #2) Does the guitar rhythm data retain any of its higher quality character when pasted into a lower sample rate/bit depth file? Or am I losing all the fidelity of the higher rates? My end goal is to produce audio tracks for quickTime Player videos, but QT uses a fixed 44.1k 16bit stereo audio track. I am thinking it might be best to either work exclusively in 44.1k 16bit, or else exclusively in 48k 24bit and then drop the finished track down to 44.1 16bit for QT’s purposes. My primary concern is that I’ll be losing any quality improvements I might get by working in 48k24bit when I drop down to 44.1k 16bit. Also, my audio interface, Roland’s QuadCapture, has a default recording bit depth of 24, and I’d like to take advantage of the improved quality you get with higher sample rate/bit depth. Any suggestions for the best way to proceed? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
