this is has only recently been bugging me! im currently 44.1/16 and im happy enough. but sometimes a feel i should be getting more out of my mixes. i could put that down to still learning the game, but i cant help but think, is this the next logical step??

I am aware of the nasty algorithms with downsampling, but im not too worries about stuff going to CD really, if i can get a better mix than ill go with that.

i was reading on KVR, about upsampling too... theres some nice free software to upsample::

this is what one guy was saying to do, makes some sense!!

1. do your mix and whole production just like you've always done at 44.1 or 48khz. mix it to completion, finish off everything.
2. then take the absolutely *crucial* stems like main vocal, bass submix, drum bus, guitars and the rest and export those with no effects. (a good idea to save the channel/bus/plugin settings here)
3. upsample to 96khz with the best resampler available to you
4. start new 96khz project and import the stems.
5. you probably now have like 3-5 stereo busses to process and mix at 96khz and your machine can likely handle it just fine.

(6. might also be a good idea to render all those synths at 96khz now, but it all depends on whether they play important parts)

everything involving compression, saturation and EQing benefits, reverbs less so.
