Default 24-bit on tap at Apple?

Thanks for a suggestion but now, I won't do it. Music is _NOT_ a pure
sinusoidal waves and there are other things like attack, shape etc. The
primary mistake all those proponents of wonderful digital sound make is
assumption that analog audio ends at 20KHz. It doesn't. It doesn't end
even
at 30KHz and higher. Its amplitude falls quite rapidly, yes, but there is
no
such an abrupt cutoff at 22KHz.


Right, the auditory system collapses well before that, unless you are an 8
YO girl!


Another reason, totally unrelated, for 24/96 is that is a standard
de-facto
these days. All those 16/88 and 16/96 are not. And storage is dirt cheap
these days to save pennies by using some weird format.


And how much do you pay for tape these days (per your other post) Now that's
a weird format these days! :-)
