[Dream] What sample rate & bit depth you working at?

[Cujo]

depends on what im working with.
if i am recording a live musician and needs to take it out of the DAW 
and mix it on a console, then I try to go for completely rubbish high rates.
like 192 kHz and 24 bit, (never went into 32)
But if im working with VST's and all that, i usually just run 44 or 48...

don't know really if i personally could tell a difference. but i believe 
in that when grabbing at the high rates, i get more detail in the sound, 
and since im stilling taking it back into a huge analogue desk, there 
would be no reason to lose some of the frequenzies and bit's in the 
beginning, but when later on, setting the whole track together, 44 or 48 
i think is just fine.
