UA-1G Sampling Rates..... What gives..?!

Ola

I bought the UA-1G to work on mixes we've done in the studio, on the go. It's mostly for vocal comp'ing etc - not really recording as such, just listening back to what we have and arranging by slip editing etc.

Our studio stuff is always recorded at 24/88.2 (twice CD sampling rate..... old habit) and the spec of the UA-1G says it supports up to 96khz.

However, the sampling rate has to be locked to 96khz, so Sonar won't play the project which is recorded at a LOWER sample rate??

Two questions....... Is there any way at all in the UA-1G settings to get it to support 88.2khz? And if not, why on earth did Cakewalk not support such a POPULAR sampling rate? I mean, every studio I've worked in has always used 88.2khz - cos there's next to no difference going up to 96khz and dithering back down to 44.1khz is easier/neater/better if you've done it by half (from 88.2khz...)

Am I missing something? Could I somehow re-sample up to 96khz to work on it away from my studio, temporarily?

Thanks in advance

Ryan

    The 96 khz setting is hardwired in a switch on the back and there is no software control of that.  A sampling converter might help

    Thanks

    Will probably just lug around my FW410 though, it isn't huge..... Just a pain because all I need is to listen and arrange at 88.2khz........ There was an M-Audio Transit (?) that could do it I think, although it's been discontinued. Will keep my eyes peeled for pre-owned one.

    It'll just mean unplugging my FW410 (mains, inputs, outputs etc...) each time.

    Thanks again

    ps Just checked, and the M-Audio Transit DOES support 88.2 khz, but not if recording analogue at that rate.

    But should work for comp'ing stuff already recorded at 88.2khz.......

    Sweet! Gotta find me one now !!! !! !!!

    Hi...
     I had a dought about cakewalk ua 1g..
    can i record my vocals with a music track at 24bit/96Khz setting??
    i have heard that record and playback is not possible at 96Khz at the same time. How can anyone record vocals without listening to the track(minus track)? U will never know the tempo,scale,where to start and where to stop... If so then 96Khz setting is completely useless for recording vocals...
    Pls help me out...

    Thank you

    When we buy interfaces at the low end of the price scale we must accept the fact that these devices won't have all the features of more sophisticated devices. If you want to simultaneously record/play at 96 kHz you'll have to get a different interface.
