Hey guys, it has been 15 years since I took the last poll and I wanted
to ask if you would chime in on what bit depth and sampling rate you
are primarily using now e.g., 16/44, 24/44, 24/48, 24/96, 24/192, tape?

I would really appreciate your participation in this poll and as
before I will post the results.



44k1/24 if for 'routine' audio end-product.

48k/24 for video.

Or higher sample rate if specially requested.

AOL
Occasionally 88.2 or 96 kHz if I'm doing stuff like noise removal on
transcriptions.


If you are doing noise removal, don't waste processing and encoding on
inaudible stuff, 44.1kHz is where you need to be working.


The inaudible stuff is actually very useful... transient removal algorithms
can key on the ultrasonic stuff and get better click and pop removal without
as much thumping. It's the one application where having ultrasonic response
can be a big win.
