Sample Rates
Hi guys, hope you can help me on this one! I have an audiophile 2496 card and record using it's spdif input from my Korg Triton Studio workstation. My Korg only outputs through it's spdif out at either 48kHz or 96kHz. Here's my problem... when I set the audiophile to spdif, it uses the Korg as it's master clock source, so if I had a project in Sonar recording at 44.1, all my playback would get sped up during a live record over previously recorded tracks and make things nice and complicated. So obviously the solution is to set Sonar to record at 48 or 96 kHz to match the audiophile's/korg's sample rate. My worry with this is that I've been reading a lot lately that if the final product is going to be a CD, you should only record at either 44.1 or 88.2kHz, because mixing down a project recorded at 48 or 96kHz down to 44.1 can do more harm to the mix than you could benefit from using 48 or 96 in the first place. So what I'm trying to figure out is if there is any way to record via spdif into a 44.1 or 88.2kHz project in Sonar from my Korg without pitch/speed issues due to non matching sample rates between sonar and my soundcard/korg or if there is any harm in recording at say 48 or 96kHz in Sonar? I also have a few plug-ins that only support up to 48kHz so the best option would be to set my Sonar project to 48, and set my audiophile and korg to 48 as well. But will I really have any issues when mixing down to 44.1?
Sorry, that was a bit long, hopefully I explained myself well enough, thanks for reading! :)
