Hi :) I'm fine with the quality of DAT, 48KHz 16-bit, but I've no experience with recording using Linux. 44.1KHz 16-bit seems to be not fine while producing with Linux.
What might be a good quality with less load for the CPU and soundcard? And how can I convert the mastering to CD quality, resp. master directly in CD quality? The card is a TerraTec EWX 24/96 (ICE1712 Envy microchip). The CPU is an AMD Athlon BE-2350 (2x 2.1GHz) and I have 1GB + 896MB RAM (128MB are used for the integrated graphics). I'm using 64 Studio 64-bit and Suse 64-bit. Can it be that the audio output of some Linux has got different qualities? Definitive Reaper has a better quality in sound using 64 Studio instead of Suse, but that might has to do with the emulation and I now only will use Linux applications and no Reaper any more. I was thinking of recording in 48KHz 24-bit first, but now I guess it might be better to record in 48KHz 16-bit. I'm interested what you will use to produce for CD. I don't think 44.1KHz 16-bit will do "you get what you hear", because even virtual synth recorded to an audio track in this case will have a lower quality in sound, than the not recorded virtual synth, so maybe I will run into trouble when doing the master mix, because some instruments maybe are in CD quality and other instruments maybe are in a better quality. To do the final mix I guess it would be better to have a homogenous quality, even if the mastering will be converted from a better quality to CD. But I don't know. Okay, I have to do some songs my self to find out what's the best way for me, but maybe your experiences can be a guideline for me. Cheers, Ralf
