Thick As A Brick : 96khz XITE-1D test

[dante]

MIDI version of Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick (excerpt). Rendered at 96Khz / 32 bit with Scope XITE-1D using Host VST Instruments. Then converted back to CD quality for soundcloud.

This was a test to see what my system (Scope and Host) could handle at 96Khz. The answer is 'about half of what it can handle @48 Khz'.

Which means for recording purposes, doing a 12 - 16 track project instead of a 24 - 32 track project.

But it also meant rerouting I/O as ADAT AI3 has half channels (SMUX) and not using Dynatube (which only works up to 48Khz).

That sounds clean Dante.
MIDI @ 96k.......?

Yeah just MIDI (I haven't recorded Audio thru the XITE-1D Analog input at 96K yet) to Kontakt, spubase VST and Zelig. Therefore more a performance test than a A/D recording fidelity type test.
