I knew you were referring to that story. I don't disagree. My point was
just that whatever was happening in the lower band resulting from upper
frequency data would still be there if the upper data were not recorded.
Just the upper data would not be there. All I meant is that
down-sampling probably would yield a track very similar (though not the
same) to a track recorded at 44.1. So for purposes of experimentation on
a mix it would be acceptable to me.
On the EQ thing, who knows? Have you tried it? Besides, putting matched
mics on the same source is already such a variable the rest of the test
is useless. You knew that, but wondered if I would fall for it. Hah! I
ain't your sucker, bro.

I hear that C4's big bug fix is around the corner too. I wonder if they
don't let Cubase users find the bugs and then incorporate the refined
code in Nuendo?

Hi Bill, I did not take the C4 bait.. it's been my experience with Steinberg
to "wait" for a few revisions before updating..

It's been my experience never to be a "paying beta-tester" for
anything - I always wait 'til version 1-point-something at the
very least.
