Try it. I'll be you can't hear a difference in a blind test. Well, unless your converters perform drastically differently at different rates - which is just a sign of broken equipment, not sampling rate superiority.
Somewhere between dither and speaker cables. Hope I don't break the internet I record and mix at 48k, then convert to whatever delivery formats at the very end of mastering. Keeping the anti-aliasing filter further above the audible band while tracking, mixing, processing gets a slightly smoother, more natural sound. At least it did the last time I checked. I came to this workflow years ago after some experimentation. It's possible that things may have changed since then but I kind of doubt it because that filter is still there CDs are Thank you very much for the replies.
My doubt is if the downsampling is always preferable instead to have a lower nyquist level. No one has ever wanted any 10hz on their records, why's it different at the other end of the spectrum? What's up there above 20k anyone thinks they need more of? Likewise conversely? Gotta preserve all that stuff as faithfully as possible! Low level details! It's not necessarily about preserving frequencies above 20kHz, but rather having a more gentle anti-aliasing filter. I know. I just don't think it really matters.
You look at a drum kit recorded at It seems horrifying to just cut all that off! And with a super steep filter at that. But then you listen to the same kit recorded at It doesn't sound any different than it did at But everything else is a million times more important.

What's New. Sweetwater Card. There is not an audible difference in my opinion, but I believe that unless you are mastering an audio CD, digital audio should be mastered to 48 kHz for playback.
Here's why. When the DSP in your computing device mixes audio, they need to be at the sample rate. Digital audio at a different sample rate has to be re-sampled.
I don't know how many of you build your own PCs, I build my own even though it is more expensive because I like to pick goes into it.
The reason for this, in the old days computer sound cards could only process 48 kHz PCM data, so So the CDROM drives had an audio cable feeding analog audio to the sound card for playback, avoiding the need for re-sampling. Nowadays, most sound cards can do But if your sound-card is set at 48 kHz, those Many sound cards switch between the two.
If nothing is playing, and a If a 48 kHz audio is played, it will operate at 48 kHz and it does not have to re-sample. This usually works well, but switching sample rates it is operating at can be a source of problems if the drivers are buggy.
The It was also used for digital downloads because some people liked to burn audio CDs of their digitally purchased music, so People don't burn audio CDs nearly as much now, so I don't see a reason to keep using Digital video is on the increase and digital video uses 48 kHz sample rate, I think digital audio should follow suit and use 48 kHz as well.
If we phase out Occasionally re-sampling Buggy drivers that crash when a sound-card switches aren't an issue if it never switches. This is actually something I do when I rip a CD. I rip to a single file, and while I do archive that in flac as ripped, I also then re-sample to 48 kHz and after the re-sample, split the tracks.
Interestingly, the developers of the Opus codec seem to have the same philosophy - So nutshell, it is my opinion it is time to phase Keep things simple for the sound-card, keep playback set to 48 kHz and re-sample the deprecated legacy sample rate when it is played.
For new recordings, record to 48 kHz. For ripping CDs, the CD has to be That's my opinion. Of course do what you want, it is just my opinion.

As someone who primarily ventures outside of But I don't think you'll get a multitude of enthusiastic backers of an initiative to phase out Portable players would be the first thing that comes to mind.
And CD players are still surprisingly ubiquitous. Even Ethan Winer reluctantly admits that some people I assume he means adults can hear when audio has been resampled. And regarding Opus, it has an adoption rate a fraction of the size of Ogg Vorbis. Vidiot likes this. Opus adoption rate I believe is small because it is new.
