 96 khz/DMA buffer
Hi everyone, I'm running Audition 2.0 on a 2.6 gig intel hyperthread
with 2 gig of ddr-ram and a delta 10/10 card. I increased the sample
rate through the card and the software to 96 KHZ to acheive higher
clarity but I'm getting these clicks and pops on playback. I think
it's because the DMA buffer size on the card control panel isn't high
enough. Can anyone tell me the correct DMA buffer size for recording
at 96 khz so that I don't get these clicks and pops? The other thing
is that a pop up tells me a list of latencies everytime I change the
DMA buffer size on the Delta 10/10 control panel though I think this
is not applicable if you have ASIO compatible software, which I do,
but I'm not completely sure about this.

If larger doesn't fix it, it isn't the DMA buffer. Try turning off
hyperthreading. I think that can be found in Control Panel-->System-->Device
Manager-->Processors. You will have to reboot for the change to take effect.

Yes, of course, you must be running linux :)

Inbetween the clicks and pops, ARE you getting greater clarity? I
doubt it.

Are you suggesting that there is no noticable difference between 44100
and 96?

There certainly is - you use up a helluva lot more disk space...

Besides this, will you be shipping your finished product to the punters
on a format that uses a sample rate > 44k1?

So even if you record, mix, and master at 96K, you still have to
down-sample the tracks to get them onto CD. Ergo, you loose whatever
benefits a 96K sample rate gave you.

As to whether there is an audible difference between 44k1 and 96K - the
debate rages on...

Disk space costs nothing nowadays.

No, you don't. The math on audio material with higher bit- and samplerates
is done with much more precision, as is the work done by the human ear
during the production process. You'll end up having a more detailed final
product, even when downsampling.

There's no need for that to rage on. Just use your ears, and equipment good
enough to actually reproduce the difference.

P.s.: about 5 years ago i used to share your point of view. Then i upgraded.

It would be very interesting to test which part of the upgrade caused
the improvement.

Want to make a good master Chris, for mp3 and CD. I guess I will loose
it on CD. I'm thinking of converting the final mix to FLAC and using
that as the master. Any ideas on lossless codecs?
