Re: [ARSCLIST] Mastering to WAV
Paul,
Redbook CD standard is 44.1@16. There is no need to use 48K in your
situation unless this is audio for video. The audible difference would
be in the bit depth. But in your situation you probably won't gain
anything by going 24.
Use 44.1 @ 16. You won't have to worry about conversion or dither quality.

With the ongoing discussion about bit rate, etc for MP3, I was wondering about another question regarding mastering rate for WAV files.
I have a system (Pro Tools 5.1.1 with 888 I/O) that is older and therefore does not allow mastering higher than 48k @24 bit depth.
My question therefore is which would be the more prudent settings to master to WAV based on my limited equipment situation and disk space and that 98 percent of the mastering would be for narration material from DAT tapes recorded at 48k...
44.1 at 16
44.1 at 24
or 48 at 24.
I ask this because I remember reading or hearing somewhere that using 44.1k maybe better than using 48k due to some mathematical reason for future transfers. I of course am more than willing to accept I misunderstood or misread the situation. But then this is what the LIST is for no doubt to enlighten or correct errors....LOL
I thank you for your time in this regard
