Yep - thanks Len - that was certainly my experience
with SBLive and
onboard sound.
With the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4, it actually seems to run with
(slightly) less CPU load at 44.1k than 48k (much less than 96k), and I
think it might make 44.1k a better choice to avoid the extra
downsampling etc. for the final mix in that instance. Not sure if it
actually runs natively at 48k or whatever tho - not sure how I would
find that out.
The focusrite will clock the ADCs at whatever rate you select, it will not
resample. However, the low pass filter at 44.1k will have more effect on
the in band audio than at 48k. Do a listening test, if you can't tell the
difference with cymbals and such, I guess it doesn't matter. If your mics
roll off at 18k (or less) anyway it may not be an issue. But honestly my
engineering is not the best here.
