Apparently I was underinformed. Audiofile's Sample Manager software is supposed to be even better than Barbabatch. Nicholas |

I'm just not convinced that the SRC out of Pro Tools is *that* bad. Examples, please. |

Here's a question: All the examples on that page are 96 to 44.1. Are there less artifacts from 88.2 to 44.1? Is this a dangling integer thing? |

Sample manager is a fantastic little program. Even without the included izotope SRC and Dither. |

It's been a while since I looked at it but as I recall the Izotope SRC was one of the best, if not the best, performing ones in the above linked comparison. |

From a purely mathematical point of view, there should be less artifacting with the 88.2 to 44.1 conversion since there is an even 2 to 1 relationship. |

Again, this is a myth and not true. This statement is founded on the misconception that it's merely a matter of stripping away every other sample, when in reality any SRC stage is a lot more complex than that no matter the original and target sample rates. The math is the same regardless of 88.2->44.1 or 96->44.1 etc, simply put. |

I'm just speaking from experience. Downconverting 96k files from PT to 44.1 sounds like ass. I have literally found nirvana with Barbabatch, especially in making MP3's. Nicholas |

This statement is not founded on the misconception of stripping out every other sample. The advantage is that sample points are always going to be equally weighted against each other, instead of the positional balance of the sample points constantly changing, as in 96k to 44.1k conversion. That makes mathematically computation much more involved. I didn't take 3 years of calculus along with other higher mathematics for nothing. Please don't make broad statements unless you can back them up with more than "is a myth and not true", along with some poor assumptions. |
