Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A
Clayton,
As I have stated elsewhere on this forum and others, 96kHz is 99% marketing hype. There are hundreds of other things you should be more concerned about in terms of recording that matter much much much more. There are countless recordings by top tier acts mixed by top tier mixers who do not use 96 to this very day. Probably one of the most famous and respected ones bounces everything through a 16bit 48K process for every project he does. This is a man who can afford whatever gear he wants, and he is happy with 16bit 48K. I am too, and believe you can be too. Check out the Ethan Winer demonstrations about lowering bitrate and see when you can actually tell a difference, you will be surprised.
I know for live sound 48 is sufficient, but would like to see some of Behringer equipment launched using rates of 96kHz or more. A S16 at this rate and the potential for connecting directly to PC or MAC would be perfect for studio or live recordings. Also miss an ADA8000 (now ADA8200) rate of 96 (s / mux). Please express your view on the matter.
