Re: 16 bit 48 all we need?

[David Messenger <mssngr1@pacifier.com>]

I use Adobe Audition as my Wave editor, and have used it for recording 
up to now, when hence forth I will record
in Live 8. I always record in 48 kHZ / 32 bit for the same reason 
mentioned earlier. I always do a lot
of track processing and find in more comforting to have the extra bit 
headroom. Uses a little more drive space,
but better safe than sorry.

I prefer to listen to music at 48 kHZ, and record all my LP transfers in 
the same resolution. Often I'm listening to 32 bit audio LP transfers on 
the HD. Whether I "prefer" the distortion of the higher res or not, 
48kHZ files always sound better to me than 44.1,  just as I  always 
preferred the DAT to listen to for LP Transfers over the CD back when 
DAT's first came out.
