Render to what bit rate?

Post by Meef Chaloin » Fri Aug 26, 2005 10:58 am

After reading a little about people using 32bit i was wondering what the best thing to do is. I generally do all my projects in 16/44.1 so would it really make that much difference if i rendered in 24 or 32 bits?

Hi,
If you're working at 16/44.1 you have no benefits rendering at higher bitrate. Higher bitrate is ok if you were working at say 24/48 (like me!) or higher and you want to master/finalize the rendered track outside Live for example.

in other words if your render is the final one use 16/44.1.

I hope this helps!
