Yes choose the final sample rate at the record time. avoid oversampling if you can. If you already have the tracks recorded at 44.1k, I think oversampling as a final step rather than on the tracks makes sense, but I could be wrong. If you have all single tracks (not stereo) it may be better to oversample first before you make stereo images. Anyone else have an opinion on this? -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
