Re: Sample Rate for professionals
I don't think any professional has chosen to use high sample rates without first doing extensive testing to determine what sounds best after mixing, mastering and conversion to 44.1x16.

Maybe if there was more mainstream support for higher fidelity audio, people would no doubt use the highest possible quality. But all of these data providers are bandwidth hogs and just want to maximize content through the use of compression. Maybe if consumers actually bought music instead of stealing it and were willing to pay the higher costs that would come with the extra bandwidth required to offer higher fidelity audio. I doubt the average person would be willing to pay more as most consumers are perfectly happy with 96 and 128 kbps audio and could care less about even a 320 version. Most would not value the perceived difference enough to pay extra for it.

I think Obviously it matters how good the initial file format sounds , because I think the right question is ..If the initial recorded, mixed, and mastered file coming out of the studio sounds better,,,,,, will the compressed versions sound better ? And if it does , and if working a higher format rates does not somehow degrade more in down conversion/compression then why not use higher resolution (if the computer can handle it) ??? I think that is the right, or certainly just as valid a question . Also while The problems with delivery systems to the end user, is also a valid point I think it is actually a different subject, and not really the point of the OP, which was asking ..What are the pros doing in their studios and why?.... Which Mr. Lambert's post directly addresses

Re: Sample Rate for professionals
Again, Ian Shepherd has demonstrated that ultrasonic frequencies can cause audio-band artifacts due to the inability of many amps and speakers to handle them well. A given sound may well be perceivably different when recorded at a high sample rate and a sufficient one. But perhaps the difference is actually a problem, and people are assuming that the difference they hear must be an improvement because higher=better. It ain't necessarily so.

Title : "Sample Rate for professionals" "Can you tell me, what the professional studios make?" now admittedly I am assuming, he means sample/bit rate and not income

Yep and most don’t really care. Does the music move you? Does it speak to you? Sample rate talk doesn’t move anyone. It’s a drab conversation. For the record I deleted about half of this post
