hi there,
anybody out there recording @ 192khz 24 bit
on a dual2.5 G5 running 4.52 and one HD192?
What kind of track count could i expect without softsynths
or major effects?
I'm hitting all the ceilings at 24 mono tracks ...
my setup, or reality?
your input is greatly appreciated

Don't do it. It's a total waste of HD and CPU space.
Do 88. for the full realization of digital or 96k for TV or DVD final.
Trust me and the guys here on Unicornation....
Read Nyquist white papers or Dan Lavry paper on the subject.
Good luck

Hi guys..
can you elaborate a bit more on recommended settings? 88 what? I have the same G5, and I'm wondering what I can expect.
Thanks.

Sample rate 88.2.
Doing 192 you will be lucky to get 12 tracks with plugs and dependable HD performance unless you buy a ATTO UL4S PCI card and 15K spin scsi 320 drives... Then you might get reliable 24 tracks but with plugs????, questionable.
The point is your recordings will not be any better because there's nothing up there.
In the Lavry paper you can read about it. 60KHZ sample rate is the highest needed to clear the filters even on cheap IO's and record the highest musical harmonic.
So... 96k is even overkill but pretty much a standard.
I don't know how to be any clearer on the subject.

Re: Track Count on a dual 2.5 G5
would you guys suggest doing 88.2 rather than 48k?

88.2 over 48k?
Yes if you use cheap IO's. 96k is becoming a standard for most applications.
If you mix in the box 88.2 will allow a dither free conversion.
That's all you really need to consider. If you plan on creating a 96K 24 bit master in the end then 96 k would be better. It's not about the difference in sound but the conversions you must subject your audio to in the end.
I mix OTB and make music hopefully for film or DVD and records so I just do 96K.
88.2 is much easier on the system and allows more tracks, plugs and VI's.
Actually mixing OTB you could still do 88.2 and deliver a great sounding 96k master in 5.1 so really 88.2 is likely best for everything.
