Question reguarding 24/16 bit recording.... -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Question reguarding 24/16 bit recording.... Posted by: tokilicious Date:7/10/2001 8:56:21 PM I have a questions reguarding 24 and 16 bit recording. I currently own a Delta-66 a/d converter which is a 24 bit a/d converter. I purchased this in order to give better clarity to vinyl records and depth to my mixes. Is the a/d converter turning that analog information into 24 bit when I record into soundforge 5? Or do I have to tell Soundforge to record at 24 bit @ 44.1 Khz? Could anyone suggest the proper sampling rate and frequency? I understand that 16 bit @ 44.1 Khz is the standard audio CD's but I'm attempting to get the highest resolution possible with the equipment that I have. ANY suggestions or help would be very much appriciated. Thank you.

Before burning the CD, I resample and dither to the correct CD values. I've been told this gives a little better audio quality that recording everything at 44, 16 bit. I could be going through unnessecary steps, so anyone who knoes for sure, please chime in... Steve Portert

At the top of this window, you will see the sample rate and bit rate, which I believe defaults to 16-bit, 44,100Hz. You can change this by clicking on the "New" button. Ted
