Audio sampling rate and bit depth preferences

[Brandonsden]

This may be a very basic question, but...

If I've made a very nice concert recording in 96kHz/24-bit,
is the general preference these days to seed a 96/24 version,
or do most people still prefer the convenience of 44/16 (or 48/16)

or is it best to post the 96/24 AND a 44/16 (or 48/16, or 48/24),
or is that considered clutter...

or maybe post the 44 (or 48!) and offer hi-res later if requested,
or vice versa... I am indecisive, please advise.

192 or 384kHz !

As long as it’s recorded and worked on at high bit/sample rates, your ears won’t hear a difference once it’s 16/44. When offered both most will grab 16/44. But I think there’s nothing wrong with offering both or post one and wait for people to request the other

Standard procedure was to torrent both since 44/16 can be burned onto CD but with technology the way it is these days and hard drive space in the TB range, torrent the 96kHz/24-bit version and let the downloader down sample if needed.
