Reducing sample rate?

"Say I have a file that's 24/192, What's the best way to get it to CD quality?"
you mean you want it at a worse quality?

tone's got a very good point there.

you cant burn a 24/192 track to a cd, if the goal here is to burn it to a cd then, yes, they do want a worse quality

Yeah dude, I do. I want to be able to burn it to a CD player so that the track will play on car stereos, and I'd like it to be the best quality it can be. : /

just an observation because you asked about getting 'CD quality.' who listens to CDs anyway? (that's a joke.)

did you try different settings to hear the difference? is there a problem or are you inventing a problem?

you asked for a specific software program, just use Live. if you can't tell the difference why sweat it? dunno man, if the song is good, the song is good. I love knowing these kinds of details but sometimes it just doesn't matter. it's 2009, most pieces of software can get results that's well beyond that you're going to hear, try to not overthink the issue, just make music. we're lucky to have these tools. if this was 1982 it might be an issue.

try it yourself, then listen to people on interweb forums.

Here's a site where you can compare different aspects of SRC algorhythms from various softwares.

The iZotope 64-bit SRC seems to be the best actually.

if you are on a Mac, Wave Editor is $79 and includes the Izotope conversion and dithering stuff...

Yup, thanks. It's just what I was looking for.

I don't recall saying that or neither did Tone for that matter. I though it was funny considering what was said in this thread.
