-
- CD sampling rate is 44.1 KHz. close.
-
- there are several "popular" sampling rates (in Hz):
-
- 44100 audio CD, some DAT recording
- 48000 DAT (domestic)
- 8000 telephony, with u-LAW or A-LAW (CCITT?)
- 22050 Mac or 1/2 CD rate
- 16000 G.722 standard
- 18900 CD-ROM/XA standard
- 37800 CD-ROM/XA standard for higher quality
- 44056 some pro audio gear
- 32000 digital radio, HDTV, long-play DAT, etc
-
- will the falcon support these (i believe i have read "up to 50 KHz sampling
- rates" implying this is variable)? i think the most common are/will be:
-
- 8000 8-bit u-LAW mono (voice mail)
- 22050 8-bit linear mono/stereo (Mac compatibility)
- 44100 16-bit linear mono/stereo (audio CD)
-
- what about atari/third party 8 channel adapter? will this be 8 stereo channels
- or 8 channels or 4 stereo channels? what sampling rates?
-
- how will the falcon be for realtime recording (like a multitrack recorder)?
- how well would an $800 falcon compete with a $3000 ADAT (Alesis)? other than
- the Alesis now exists, why would i want it over the falcon (assuming i could
- and would write all my own software)?
-
- thanx
