Re: [ARSCLIST] Archiving at double speed

[Rob Poretti <r.poretti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

"Good quality" is somewhat relative.  For comparisons on various sample-rate
converters, see here:

I believe the Sequoia engine is the same as Samplitude's...  Correct me
Richard, if I'm wrong...


Anyway, I don't want to distract from the original thread - sample-rate
conversion aside, there are plenty of other reasons *not* to use
double-speed digitization.

Cheers!
