You know Goddard its time to give it a rest. I'm glad you have such a analytical mind and see so many faults in someone else's work but at some point its just obsessive and not all that informative.  

Yeah, as I said way back on page 2 or something, I can't see how any of this bluster is adding to general comprehension of the topic.
 
I think you can boil down Goddard's objection to the fact that there's no proof of higher sample rates being harmful. As far as I can tell, he has nothing else, apart from this - yes - irrelevant guff about realtek converters and conversations on newsgroups in the late 90s.

The lack of proof for Lavry's claim is a reasonable enough point, but the words-to-meaning ratio, and the "information sharing"-to-"dick swinging" ratio in the thread overall is through the floor and heading for the earth's core.
 
 

Yeah, with Danny on that. Quite like a long and detailed read, myself. Object to a wilfully obscurant waffle, but that's a slightly different point. In fairness, though, I suspect Vab was making a joke there.

Alright, sooooooooooooo, huh?
 
What does ANY of the last 7.5 pages of this matter?
 
NONE of it means anything beyond the range of human hearing, and if one takes a moment to spin through the radio dial to what's current, fidelity has LONG gone by the wayside, and it's all way too much bass with crappy gangstas with their choppas in da closet. and Kanye liking fish sticks.  :)
 
The above is a nonsensical brain purge, caused by this thread, and not to be taken as anything to be taken.
 
I am willing to bet that NOBODY thus far in this thread has changed their opinion ONE IOTA from wherever it was prior to joining in this thread.  Sooooooooooo, what's the point at this point?
 
I choose to use 48 K and 24-bit depth, and that's that.
 
I REFUSE to hook the Large Hadron Collider into my rig, just to see if sampled fish farts are mathematically able to approach the speed of light during my cover of Louie Louie.
 
A sampled fish fart is a sampled fish fart, no matter how deep the ocean.

Yeah I felt he was too...but I saw "posts that long" and had to chime in due to my track record. :)

I've heard some of your tracks, and, for the record: They are really quite nice. As are your novellas. 
 
Regards,

I thought I would take a stab at putting this thread into a bit of humorous perspective.  It had gotten to a place where I don't think anyone really wanted to get to.
 
I think that the strength of this forum is best realized when we strive to constructively serve each other, and when we lose sight of that, we lose a lot - and it is easy to do.
 
I am at peace with the settings I have chosen for myself, 24-bit at 48 k, and hope others find peace with it all for their systems, as well, with whatever settings they choose for themselves, for whatever reasons make sense to them.

Well, I think Sonar is fabulous - I just don't personally need to worry about things beyond the settings I choose to run with.
 
And for those who choose to run with 192 k sample rates, or whatever, I with them all the best in their endeavors.
 
For all we know, the brand new band 'The Bed Bugs' are using X3 to finish their breakout CD, somewhere in East London, inspired by the comping and the ARA integration of Melodyne.
 
At 54 years of age, having grown up in the hissy world of cassette tapes and 8-tracks, ANY of the available settings in Sonar sound fantastic.  That being said, I DID try out a bunch of different settings and DID do some research into it all, and I have chosen what I consider to be the best balance between performance and sonic quality - for MY setup.  Hopefully, others find their own balance.

@Grem - Yeah - tons of good info, and debatable info - my only points were the one about the minds not changing, and my suggesting that folks try to keep it from being a bunch of negative 'attacks'.
 
I wanted to try to bring it back to a civil discussion.  There were a lot of good points made, and I wish folks didn't have to sift through the noise to get at the good info.

I have just one question. Is this an Input meter or an Output meter?
 

I've always said;

"Excreta Taurus Baffelum Cranius".

Aaaah - here we go.... :)
 
Bob Bone
 

(what do i know) but I think the 32bit referred to for the bounce is computer processing, not a bit depth of music data.
 
(good chance i'm wrong - i've not had my coffee yet  )

thanks for setting me straight John. 
 
I smell bacon in the kitchen - going to be a good day!

Well there was that one blurb about ultra high sample rates can interact beyond the audible frequency range and create noise WITHIN the audible frequency range. But that's probably the opposite of the point Bob was making.

Sound doesn't work that way. It does not create lower frequencies from higher frequencies.

But that's what the article says... I think.
 
Okay... I'll leave now. Doggies are lookin' hungry. :-/

I think he's one of those dudes who just likes to argue. On the internet I hear it's considered a art.
