The only thing is, something you have in the project may be benefiting from the Song upsampling and your mix may change if you leave it at 48/24 and Export it to 96/32.Īlso, it's not going to have the same effect on every project.

I would start by Exporting to higher sample rate before I changed the project sample rate. Initial 'capture' and 'effects processing' but the 'capture' part isn't really important. In other words, there is no sonic benefit in recording a signal at 96kHz, but once it is captured at that rate and you are in the processing stage there is a big benefit in how some Amp Sim's, Synth's, and some VST's sound when working at a higher sample rate. It would be optimal file size wise to record all the tracks at 44.1kHz and set the Song to process at 96kHz, but that's not how it works because the realtime conversion would be too much once your track count started adding up. There are a lot of good reasons to initially record at 96kHz that have nothing to do with how good a wave file sounds or the sonic field range and everything to do with how taxing realtime upsampling is on a CPU when working with certain VST's that benefit from higher sample rates such as some Amp Sim's, Synth's, and some effects. The short answer is yes, up sampling can help your source material no matter what sample rate it was originally captured at. I am just experimenting with this and what to know if any of you have tried this and what do you think?Īm I just eating up more hard drive space because I am increase my sonic field but not changing the source or am I giving the source more room as I apply master EFX before I down sample to the dreaded 44/16? Does up sampling really help source material that was recorded at a lower bit rate. I read a whole bunch of articles and threads online about this issue. The result was more bottom (maybe 1-2 db too much around 100hz and seemingly more headroom in the top end. I then applied my EQ and compression, etx. I change my project to 96/32 and found I had brighter songs to work with (for some reason). I tried by going back to my Song and changed the sampling rate to 96/32. I then read online that Bob Katz may have recommended up sampling to 96hz to master and then down sampling to 16/44 and that it could improve the dynamic range in doing so.

There was more bottom and a loss of top end. I don't like the change in frequency response I got. Now I need to down sample to 16/44 for commercial release. So I started with a 24 bit 48hz stereo master.
