Re: Protools 192k
Hi Nika,
A couple of years ago I was invited to a listening test to compare mixes created at 48k, 96k and 192k sample frequencies. It was a double blind test under laboratory conditions.
All of us could tell the difference between the 48k and 96k mixes but the difference between 96k and 192k was much less significant. Once the test was over we discussed what we had heard. The consensus, which matched my personal observations, were that at 96k as compared to 48k, the stereo imaging and positioning was much clearer, the low mids were much cleaner and more defined and the mix had a little more space and less harshness in the high mids and highs.
My theory for the differences are related to the brickwall filtering and the fact that at 96k the filter curve is much smoother and further outside the range of human hearing than at 48k.
As far as the theorectical side is concerned Nika, do you think that this whole message is complete bullsh&t or do you have any better explanation for my observations?
TIA,
Greg
