Sample Rate Converter Quality in Batch File Editor Mode

[Craig Maier]

A Question recently was raised about the Sample Rate Converter Quality when operating in Batch mode. When operating in stand-alone mode, the converter offers these options:

CD Quality

Pro Quality

Master Quality

The highest quality is Master Quality and uses the most sophisticated interpolation algorithm at the expense of increased processed time.

In the batch file editor mode, no choice is provided to the user. The system uses the Master Quality (the highest quality) algorithm, it just takes a little longer to process compared to the alternative quality choices.

If only "little longer" why we need two others Craig?

[Craig Maier]

Well, "little" to some may be "a lot" to others. I think that it is a legacy thing more than anything from back in the days when CPU chips were slower. Nonetheless, it is an option that some people with older processors may want to have, so we have kept it for the users to decide, except in the batch processor. In batch processor mode, we feel that nobody would care since the processing is being done "offline" so to speak when the user is not there and/or doing something else.
