....and considering the amount of space on a CD for
these full keyboard, full 8 second samples, which
sounds would you sacrifice for the bandwidth required
for sound that doesn't exist? I have the Pinder CD and
I have done samples myself for the sounds that are not
on that CD, using the most stringent criteria I can
for audio difference in 44.1 vs lowered rates, I can't
hear the difference. Of course, some may (and will)
disagree. I've offered AB comparisons at my studio and
no one yet has heard the difference. I think they made
the right choice.
