Does the ultrasonic info (if any) on a disc make any difference? Is it just good practice to sample at 96kHz or 192kHz |
I'm going to keep the quote from Ted in there because it is very important for anyone copying from old sources to keep the original and the straight digital copy.
Most of my tape dubs are done at 44.1kHz 24 bit. There is a case for for material that will be de-clicked to be recorded at a higher sample rate as it makes it easier for the de-click algorithm to discriminate between clicks and wanted audio. Most expert opinion that I've seen suggests that there is no point in going higher than 96kHz as the performance of an analogue to digital convertor will be worse at 192kHz.
The exception to this rule would be if you are trying to recover the bias signal from the tape in order to remove speed variations - as in the process mentioned at
