The mbox 2.

[Loren Littlejohn]

Only supports sample rates of 44.1 and 48k at either 16 or 24 bit. I never noticed before.

All my other stuff can do up to 96.

Anyone have any ideas as to why digi did this?

And: If say for instance I had a project recorded at a higher sample rate would I even be able to play it through the mbox due to it's AD/DA conversion of no higher than 48k?

No idea, but if 44.1 is good enough for Andy it's good enough for me. Fuck downsampling and big files. I used to record at 48, but no longer.

General rule for me is to record at 24bit and whatever sampling rate the end media will be (CD = 44.1, DVD = 48).

I wonder why we still use a fucking CD with limited bandwidth and resolution with all the technology and media available today.

go figure...

Good point.

Remember those Dual Disc CDs you could buy? You got the normal CD on one side and on the DVD side you almost always got the album again at 48k 24bit.

I have a few of them.
