Hi
Using Audition CC on Mac OS X with Mackie 1220, 12-channel premium analog mixer with integrated 24-bit/96kHz Onyx FireWire I/O (Quality is amazing!)
Need to record on mono a horrible old tape recording with voice only to "hero"'s repairing audio and configure the best sample rate for recording.
My preferences Audio Hardware on Audition are:
Device Class: CoreAudio
Default Input: Onyx Firewire (0025)
Default Output: Onyx Firewire (0025)
Clock Source: Device
I/O Buffer size 512 Samples
Sample Rate: 96000 Hz
Question 1: Expert said do not use more than 48000 Hz for recording voice only and use mono. Humans can't listen more than 20000 Hz... well... My recording on 96000 Hz is better than 48000 Hz and I'm not Superman... and can hear better difference with 96000 Hz recording. Don't know why.
Question 2: Why after selecting Audio Hardware preferences to 96000 Hz after recording the File Panel said my track is 48000 Hz Mono 32 (Float)? My hardware can record at 96000 Hz and preferences is set correcty at that Bit Depth then WHY don't appears 96000Hz on File Panel after recording and instead appears 48000Hz?
Question 3: Don't understand the differences of my 24-bit/96kHz Onyx FireWire I/O and 32 bit (Float) of Audition. If I record using 24 Bits (Maximum bit depth of my hardware) why appears 32 bit (Float)? My recording are 24 Bits or 32 Bits?
Thanks :-)
Tom
