Recording Settings/Audio CD Quality -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Recording Settings/Audio CD Quality Posted by: joelogan Date:6/1/2002 11:44:57 AM Hey Gang: Just curious, is there any advantage to recording at higher sampling frequencies and bit rates? I normally stay with the standard 44,100 Hz at 16 bit, but if I step up to higher settings (example: 96,000 Hz at 32 bit) will that increase the quality or dynamic range of the audio when burned to audio CD? Before I start burning some bad CDs, will higher settings convert to CD audio? If anyone can share some insight on the subject I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise. Joe
