In my work I never resample anything, or at least
not until the final
master for the physical media is created. I always work at 44.1K, make sure
any samples and tracks others give me are at 44.1K, and make my personal
masters at 44.1KHz for auditioning where ever I need to. Only if I need a
48K for some reason do I do it then.
I use 24/96 for audio editing... lets me crank volumes, settings, etc
without major feedback, clipping and so on... not to mention that the
sound's a hell of a lot richer.
If something works out well I'll save it in several different bit depths
24/96 for a reference file and 16/48 and 24/48 for sequencing. DVDs are
48. {Stock} I'd like to sequence at higher bitrates but I tend to wonder
how many folks home stereo can do anything worthwhile with 24/96.
...Surround, on the other hand bears exploration. Everyone's got it...
not a lot of folk author for it. {as far as bands go anyway... spacialization,
putting the rumble on both sides of the listener, having that floaty/sparkly
noise swim in front of their face and throwing spears of reverberating high
frequency stuff at them from the center channel, etc...}
