Hi,
before I start , I would like to thank the developers for the incredible platform you're making possible for musicians (and not only programmers), like me!
But I really would like to use the teensy and the amazing audio lib in a more professional environment.
so my 1st question:
are there any plans to implement 24bit and 48kHz(at least)?
why is this important:
because 24bit is a standard in the professional audio production.
nobody (at least in my circles) produces or record in 16 bit! really guys.. nobody! so when your recordings and projects are at 24bits, but your effects are 16bits there is a huge quality bottleneck in your rendering pipeline. And this is what you try to avoid at all cost! And yes - the most of us producers are sensitive to this quality difference. And another yes, I hear the difference between 24 and 16bit. clearly. just like 16 and 12bit and like 12 and 8bit..
so next is the sample rate..
44.100 kHz is CD quality. We all know that. But CD's are dying, so the restricted format with it.
Nobody produces CD's anymore (besides some small dying out labels..). There is absolutely no reason to stick around with this rate anymore.
The most of the professional audio projects I'm dealing with are in 24bit @48kHz(or 96kHz)
And I hear right now some people talking:
"Well, CD is ok. Look at some Pink Floyd productions. It sounds amazing!!"
Yes, it does. But after the hard computational work (besides, that the most of it is in the analog domain..) and is done in (at least) 24bit @ 96kHz and compressed at the very end to 16bit @44.1kHz (with btw., really expensive gear!!!). And these guys are THE Audio Engineering Dumbledores.
So you want in your production line the most, best quality you can get or handle and your mixers and reverbs and compressors and so on, simply to have more information/ data to work with.
You can then always go back and compress it, lets say, for a birthday card..
So, I would like to see the teensy audio in a little bit more professional domain, rather than the experimental, electronic nerd, hobbyist world.
What would you guys say about it?
SFAIK Paul is an audio driven guy and the intention was or is to make audio stuff. or isn't it?
And of course I would pay more for a professional audio shield with good AD/DA converters!!!
so happy new year, again and cheers !
