Can I mix up to 32 bits at a higher than 44.1 kHz sampling frequency?

When I'm using Ableton Live, it allows me to choose 16, 24 or 32-bit, and then I can choose a up to 192000 sample rate.  Is this possible in the hearing?  I've been through all the preferences and all tabs and I can't find this option.  Everything I find is a convert, or the option adjust.  But this isn't what I want.  I want to mix down this way.

The closest thing is when I go to "Export Audio Mix Down", I found, I can select 32-bit.  Then, there is a box for the sampling rate, with all the different values.  But it doesn't allow me to change of 44100.

Thanks for the responses guys.  Hmm, well the reason why I ask this question is because I am preparing a cd to be sent to a mastering studio.  The engineer told me to mix down to 24 bits instead of 16 bit.  I asked him why, because everything happens to 16 bit cd anyway.  He said even if my session has 16 bit files, if I have them running through the beaches with effects bus vst as Altiverb (which I do), it will improve the sound effects in mixdown, if treated according to a higher bitrate.  Would poll better mix so he could work in the mastering session.  I assumed that this meant that a higher sampling frequency would also be beneficial.  Maybe not?  I use a lot of high-quality vst effects, so I want to make sure I get the best possible results.  I mean if you have this option and space disk hard isn't a problem, why wouldn't you use it?

It is interesting that the export Audio Mix Down allows me to mix a session from 16-bit to 32-bit files, but if doesn't let me change the sampling frequency.  Maybe I'm not understanding these terms exactly.  I always thought that, for two, more the number, the higher sound quality.

SteveG - tell you it would be a waste of more than 32 bit 44.1 kHz mixing?  What about k of 48 or 96 k?  There is not a noticeable difference?

The sample rate only affects the highest frequency that can be solved - it has no impact on the quality of all, once the rate is high enough to fix all that humans can hear. You determine the highest frequency that can be resolved in any case of the sample given by half to get the "Nyquist" frequency - so 44.1 k the highest frequency that can be fully resolved is 22.05 kHz. The human ear extends up to 20 kHz, but it's only in young children - by the time you reach your teenage years he began to fall, especially if you listen to a lot of loud music... then 44.1 k is already greater than any human condition to the response at high frequency. This overall been proved? You bet it has!

To discover the truth about the hype about the sound quality in general and more bits/sample rate are concerned, you should first read this thread of AudioMasters - and the links it contains. It's of high quality academic research, and all attempts to discredit have been completely ransacked.

Your mastering engineer is correct up to a point, but not really for the right reasons - mixtures of 32 bits are usually more specific, simply because the sums do more accurately and scale of signal is significantly improved. You must keep in mind that the only place where you will hear no appreciable difference with one more high bit depth would be in really quiet parts of reverb tails. The best way to do a mix in Audition is to do all this in 32-bit (which is floating point version of 24-bit anyway) and if he really wants a 24 bit file, you can convert the 32-bit mix after that you have to create a copy of 24-bit integer. As much as the 16-bit CD is concerned, if you (or engineer) procrastinate it properly when you do the master of the 16 bits of the final mix of 32-bit CD, then the effective resolution is higher than 16 - bit anyway - there is also a thread of AudioMasters explaining all this too (it's complicated).

What all the above implies, is that if you keep your mix 32 bit 44.1 k files as they are, if you remaster at a higher sample rate, all you have to do is up-conversion files in hearing. You don't win a single thing in doing that, but then again, you won't lose anything either - and person don't will be able to make a difference! This is not a case of "why don't use you it?" - this is really a case of ' why would you? "

Either way, it should be noted that due to some misinformation presented by people who should really have known better long, understanding of most of the people of sampling is completely and totally false. Once more, a search around AudioMasters will give you a better understanding of the present. If I get a chance later, I'll look on all appropriate threads.

  • How can I mix two video clips where they join together in a movie?

    Hello wonderful movie spirits, decision-making

    I'm working with Adobe first 6 on a Windows 7 computer.

    How can I mix two video clips where they join together in a movie?

    I know how to place two or more video clips together in the same movie, but how can I give them a bit of a mixture of just where they join?

    I have a PDF manual and the instructions of the built-in web browser.  In the instruction manual to the "Chapter 7: layering and Compositing", he talks about the transparency of a video sequence and I understand that... but I don't want to do one or the other video clip transparent anywhere except where the two video clips are joining with maybe a bit of overlap.

    I would like to make a little blur right where the two videos are joining the middle... is it possible?

    Thank you

    Digi

    AHA that kind of mixture.

    6.5 have not used in a time loooooooong.

    It's so memory, hope I get this right.

    Together the two each other clip

    Make a hidden in Photoshop and overlay it on the two clips.

    Go to the transparency settings and the value of the top 2 video clip touches Alpha.

    Screendump to mast:

    The right side is black just for the forum, but should be transparent.

  • How can I mix and match different amps and cabinets?

    I'm running Logic Pro and still have a problem with the amp Designer. I read in the world how it is easy to mix and match different amps, cabs and pickups but the drop down menus where I should be able to select them all are disabled. I can browse all presets of course, but I can't mix and match.

    I found some advanced tools in the preferences and activated all the boxes in there, just to see. The question remains the same.

    No idea how I could get these options enabled?

    No problem here. Once you select a different amp and Cabinet, you should see 'tailor-made' next to the model on the left.

    I don't think that the patches have nothing to do with him, but have you downloaded all the additional sounds, in particular "the guitar"?

    Hope that helps

    Hello

    It seems that only the Win 7 64 bit drivers are available for Satellite L650D - 12 p PSK1SE series at the moment that maybe Toshiba will come out the 32-bit driver in the near future let's hope

    But if you want, you can install the Toshiba tools and utilities that are released for other series like Satellite L550D. Tools such as VAP, ReelTime, Touch Pad Driver or BT stack can be downloaded from other series, because these aren't portable model relating to the software.

    Of course, you should pay attention to the display driver, WLan or LAN drivers, it depends on the chip.

  • Satellite P200 - 1 K 9: can I put the Vista 64-bit.

    Hello

    I was wondering if my p200 - 1 k 9 can be upgraded to the 64-bit version of Vista. I was told it will improve performance, but have been unable to find anywhere on the net, if I can indeed be upgraded or if there is no significant increase in performance to justify the cost.

    I use my pc mainly for photo and video editing in Adobe production studio suite.

    Thanks for your answers in advance
    Richard

    Hello

    Why not??? Satellite P200 - 1 K 9 belongs to the series of PSPB6E and according to the page of Toshiba Europe, all Vista 64-bit drivers are available.

    But I don't think you will see a performance gain by using a 64-bit version of Vista.
    To be honest, I would Setup not 64-bit because of the compatibility problems with some 3rd party applications.

    I have no experience with Vista 64 bit, but with XP 64 bit version and I can tell you that I had a lot of problems with my 3rd software because it was designed for 32 bit OS.

    But finally it s your own decision

    Hi, Henrik:

    Specifications of your PC seem to meet all of the hardware requirements to be able to fully run W7.

    P D 915 processor is capable of 64-bit.

    ( (4M-Cache-2_80-GHz-800-MHz-FSB http://ark.intel.com/products/27515/Intel-Pentium-D-Processor-915-)

    I recommend you max on your memory to 4 GB as a 64-bit operating system requires more memory to run a 32 bit OS.

    A 32 bit OS will perform better on a PC that is running less than 4 GB of memory, unless you need a 64-bit system to run 64-bit programs.

    I would also start the W7 Upgrade Advisor to confirm what I posted.

    There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.

    It should be down with a clean install.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    Yes, if you have a 64-bit installation dvd.  If your copy of Vista is preinstalled on your computer, then you will only 32 bit.  The computer itself supports a 64 bit OS, but you may need to get a dvd 64-bit somewhere.  You will need to download the 64-bit HP drivers and make them available on a dvd or a USB before starting.  You need to reinstall the operating system if your programs and data will not be considered.  You must have your programs ready to reinstall and your backup data.  If you find a use of dvd retail product key on the sticker on your computer when you install.
