Just out of curiosity, how come the higher i put my input (192 for example), the less im able to use in Cuemix FX?
I would really love to record higher then 44.1 or 96, but once i set it, then i cant even use Cuemix.
Doesnt really make sense to me, so if anyone has any clarification, thatd be great.

Re: 828mk3 and Cuemix FX question
Higher sample rates need more processor power. The 828mk3 has a processor in it.
192 is a bit extreme. I don't even use 96 because everything needs a lot more power even after recording when using highter sample rate too.
And unless, your room is perfect, you have the best mics and best pre-amps and are recording the best musicians my opinion is that the difference between 96 and 192 (or even 44.1 and 96) isn't worth the processor trade offs it takes).
In other words, you will also find that you have less power (= can use fewer plug-ins etc) in your DAW the higher sample rate you use to record... And the file sizes will be bigger too.
What kind of music are you recording?

Re: 828mk3 and Cuemix FX question
i make "industrial" type music.
i see what youre saying and im sure theres still a raging debate on wether recording at 44.1 as opposed to 96 is better or worse.
i would just like to record at a higher quality, thats all. i have the hard drive space, so larger files dont matter to me.
