either 44100 khz or 48000 khz sampling frequency. But the software says
also, it is possible to sample at 88200 or 96000. Two questions:
1. Is there an economic interface available that will allow those higher
sampling rates -- my search turned up nothing specific.
2. The ultimate goal is to burn the song cuts to a CD. I haven't got to that
stage as yet, and so wonder if it is over-kill to pursue such higher sampling
rates, if this higher-quality would be lost when burning to the CD? What's the
max high quality sample rate for a CD?
The original record itself did not have a good signal to noise ratio, did not have as much dynamic range as a CD, and could not produce ultra high pitched sounds, so all the extra accuracy will give you is a more accurate rendering of the hiss, crackles, and scratches. M-Audio sells the Audiophile 2496 for $99 list, and they just came out with a newer one, which is higher resolution at a higher price. So that should be more than adequate. Capture to audio, then try running some noise cleanup plugs, or cut some low end rumble, and maybe boost the high eq to bring out some brightness. Then burn to CD.
