What's the best format for audio? Best quality?

You need to decide which one fits you best. As people said, what do you plan to burn in, Wav or AIFF. I believe that SDII will not go above 48k either. I know one of the three won't but can't recall right now which one it is.

Hi folks, Forgive me for being wrong yet again but aren't they all the same? I thought only the nomenclature was different.... Geoff

All three formats have the overview saved as a separate "chunk" inside them... just like the time stamps.. with sd2 files they save this data in the resource fork... which is stripped if moved to a PC formatted drive. sd2 files can only go as high as 48kHz. All formats have equivalent audio quality.. the data is identical.. just the byte order and the header information is different. Rail
