Hi All, I tend to use 48000 for realtime and 44100 for wav. For me, I've found that because 48000 is the native resolution on the audio devices I use (the laptops builtin sound card and a USB sound card I use), I've gotten better performance with that due to no translation. Also, more importantly, I've found that the sound of the audio I was working with when rendering 44.1 on a 48k device was colored so that it wasn't representative of what I heard when rendering 44.1 to CD and playing on a stereo. Rendering at 48k works though for me. Just to add a little more fuel to the debate. :P steven On 12/14/06, Victor Lazzarini wrote: > I also prefer 44100. > > Victor > > > > > > > Anthony Kozar writes: > > > > > I don't mean to be difficult, but I would personally > > > rather have sr = 44100 and ksmps = 16 than this.
