I hear subtle improvements at 96 for small ensemble acoustic recordings.
This is only apparent under “high end” recording situations like a good stereo
mic pair on a string quartet or a small folk group. By the time you convert
back to 44.1, any real improvement is modest, but the original 96 masters
are definitely superior.
Where I here a dramatic improvement with 96 (or other high sample rates)
is when I use plugins. HydraTone is way better at 96 and starts to sound
like high-end analog equipment. Others like the Sony Oxford plugs, or the
TC VSS3 reverb running on Powercore also benefit dramatically. This is frequently
not subtle at all. Another place where the change is dramatic is with some
soft synths like FM7, which sounds far better at 96 (this is not true of
all synths).
I have been playing around with hybridized Paris setups that include some
96 with mixed results.

Well, I’ve played with it using A/D converters.
My best results so far have been to start projects in DP at 96, do some “pre
mixing” in DP and render the best sounding mix I can get in DP to individual
96 files, then do batch conversion to 44.1 using Barbabatch and run the 44.1
files from DP through Paris or transfer the files and mix in Paris.
This is a lot of work but definitely adds depth and sheen to the final mix
despite the extra conversion.
The quality of your conversion will make-or-break this concept. Barbabatch
is the best I’ve ever used.

Are many Paris only guys using 48 all the time? is the slight difference
worth it if there is going to be file conversion?

>I think boards rarely go up in the immediate future. Usually the first 10
years is a hard time for a keyboard's price, but after 20 years or so often
they start to hit back. For example I know the Roland Juno keyboards, in
Australia in the early 90's they were going for $350-$400. These days however,
I spent $700 on a Juno-60 just recently, and most people think I got a pretty
good deal with it.
I was talking to a keyboard player on Saturday night who played Wurlizters.
He said he bought his first one in about 87 for $200, then another in 95
for $1600, and one just recently for $2500 or something.
The big question is whether or not a given board will fall into that bracket
where, ten years later, people will realise that it has something that no
other keyboard does, and I have a feeling this one will...
....I sent you an email with specifics of why. :o)

Well aint that the truth! Mind you a DAC-1 is more like $1500 in these parts,
or more even I beleive. I'm told I can get one for a little under $1500 I
think I was told.
And I'm planning to sell the amp and stand which come with the keyboard,
so hopefully I'll only have to outlay $6-700 for the keyboard all up, which
is only half the price of the DAC-1...
....and honestly, you have no idea how much I hate having to set th keyboard
back up after a gig/rehearsal, nor how much I love to play the things. ;o)

d have a look...
Just wondering if anyone knows what causes this. I'm guessing it happens
a lot.
Or, if you don't know how to fix it, and chance you know the right words
to use to describe it to google? ;o)
