Bad SRC at 88.2 versus Good SRC at 96K
« on: February 06, 2006, 09:55:57 AM »

I am going to ask a very silly question.

What is better (or less bad):

1. Tracking at 88.2k/24 and just using the built-in "export" feature in Cakewalk to SRC to 44.1k/16?

2. Tracking at 96k/24 and using something like Wavelab to handle the SRC to 44.1k/16?

I've heard about the 88.2k is easier somehow, so I was wondering if the "easier" math would make it feasible to just use the built-in export function in Cakewalk, or is it always better to use a fancier SRC?

I realize that neither of these options are ideal. Unfortunately, I am a low-budget DAW kind of guy (maybe there is a better place for this question) Smile

Thanks!

The math is easier when you go up or down by a factor of 2, so if you go up or down between 44.1KHz and 88.2KHz or between 48KHz and 96KHz, the math is easier.
The math gets more difficult when you go between 96KHz and 44.1KHz, or between 48KHz and 88.2KHz.

Having said the above, much does depend on a specific implementation. It is possible to have a SRC work well between 96 to 44.1, and it is possible to have a poor 88.2 to 44.1K implementation.
