It's a very cool hack, but the actual advantages for that type of equipment are dubious (as already mentioned in some of the comments). There are some advantages to 96 kHz, but ** only if you don't use the full bandwidth (up to 48 kHz) ** it offers: * it can simplify the implementation of some effects algorithms, in partular those that require interpolation between samples (pitch shifting, time stretching and the like), * it can allow the use of shorter anti-aliasing filters and hence reduce delay, reason why most of the 'digital snakes' used to replace the expensive multicore cables connecting the stage to a FOH mixer operate at 96 kHz. The rest is just myths. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
