Resampling my music collection


Suppose I wanted to do a static resampling of my music collection in the form of lossless audio files. Would there be an advantage to resampling to 96 kHz rather than 48 kHz? The only quibble I have with 96 kHz is that it would make the files twice the size.

One of the reasons I want to do a static resample is that if I want to do any DSP during playback, I don't have to worry about the resampling ability of the DSP software that I use.

Jtwrace, I am not a Mac user and will not become one until they have an equivalent to PowerDVD. And by equivalent, I mean support 100% or more of PowerDVD's features. The full, retail version of PowerDVD.

I also need software that can resample and apply de-emphasis with 64 bit precision. The only thing I've found that does what I want is SOX (Sound Exchange). The fact that it is free is actually a turn off, but there isn't any payware that will do what it does.

What about http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/products/soundforgefamily.asp
Neither Soundforge nor Wavelab do de-emphasis without a plugin, and the only plugin I've found that does it, the Waves Q10 plugin, does it with 32 bit precision, which just doesn't cut it.
That's a misnomer - 32 bit floating point is only 24 bit precision, and a digital filter needs twice the precision of the source to prevent round off errors.

Jtwrace, that site is fascination. ProTools is the obvious reference to compare all others.

Amazingly, SSRC, freeware, is by far the best resampler, beating ProTools significantly!
