drsmyth Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I just uploaded 25 songs I recorded on my minidisc to the pc. I didn't realize the pc recording software was set on 32 KHZ. I normally record at 44. I recorded-analoge, realtime through sound card. My question is -Would there be enough difference in the quality to go to the trouble to upload again at 44. I plan to burn the files to CD's. I realize this is very time consuming versus the sonic 3 route. But I've already got these files where I want them and I've got to burn about 20 Cd's for some band members........Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is just "demo" material for your band members, the loss in quality will not be that important (you will most probably hear a difference on a good hi-fi system). At 32 kHz you'll miss all the frequency content above 16 kHz (and probably even above 15 kHz because of anti-aliasing filters). It's not that great parts of the music are gone, but you'll miss some clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think the difference is obvious, then you can decide to do the rest of the songs again at 44.1 kHz.What kind of music do you make? Maybe your bandmates are deaf anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
