I've been doing all my film work at 96 kHz/24-bit in DP, then doing a downgrade to 48 kHz/16-bit (which seems to be the norm, since all HD projects appear to be doing their audio in that sample depth/bit-rate) at the mastering stage in Wave Editor. The main reason I do this is for future-proofing the scores, in case there's a higher-fidelity format in the future that needs it. Now, do I really hear a difference? Not really, though the files are significantly larger and there seems to be a bit more headroom. It's not like the jump from 16-bit to 24-bit, where you suddenly hear twice as many details as you did in 16.Phil O wrote:Glad you got that worked out. Now you're back to the debate about whether or not it's worth it. I don't really KNOW if it makes an audible difference, but it can't hurt. I've recently been struggling with the idea of going 96K. But that's for another thread. Good luck!

I do plan on remastering my album at 88.2 kHz/24-bit and mixing at 32-bit float.
