Make it possible to choose bitrate between 44.1 and 48

Since the QC is 48khz only, shouldn’t it be possible to run it at 44.1 if NDSP were to allow it?

2

The QC is locked at 48k sample rate. Why would you want a lesser quality sample rate?

Many users have recordings at 44.1 they’d like to add the QC to

Oh, ok. I guess I don’t understand how you “add” the QC to a 44.1k recording session. Do you mean, to use as the QC as an interface? If so, that would make sense.

Yes, they want to use the QC to add tracks in a DAW that can’t resample or convert the rate on the fly

I’d like that!
Spotify runs on 44.1 and I bet most of us use it. To avoid resampling when critical listening or playing along and recording in a DAW driver should be set at 44.1 to avoid useless conversions. Anyway I didnt noticed any real difference (despite it is there because 4 thousands samples are invented by interpolation).

Yes, would love to see this… Upvoted

Also because YouTube, Spotify and whatever else runs on 44.1k, when you alt tab out to use those programs the interface won’t have crashing issues.

I’m not sure but wouldn’t you need converters that are capable of doing 44,1kHz? It might not be possible to do this with just a software update.

Please, please pardon my ignorance here. Why would the sample rate matter? As long as wherever you are recording to is set to the sample rate you need, isn’t that where it matters since you are recording a new waveform?

Again, maybe I don’t understand this, but want to.

Edit: I think I sort of understand as far as the interface side of it.
