What about "HiRes"?

I guess the most of us could render their sounds in a higher quality. 96kHz/24Bit or even 192/32.

What do you think about hiRes samples?
I mean, those files need way more webspace. So I thought I should ask before uploading samples in this resolution.

By the way, there is another

By the way, there is another reason why we have held back from hi-res files.

Wav and Aif 44.1/16 bit ensure the maximum compatibility with all systems- especially amateur users could have compatibility issues with different formats.

But at some point we will have to allow these for sure.

I think at the current state

I think at the current state files dedicated for film work/sounddesign should be uploaded at 48khz/24 Bit which is a high enough resolution imo. If you have to downsample files from 96khz to 48/44.1 everbody make sure to use a good samplerate converter - many of the SCR converters in DAWs are really not state of the art and deteriorate the Audio. Here is the link to a free Plug In:

The SCR converter in the new Mac OS Leopard are much better than they used to be in Tiger. Check out this link:

Hi Acid, We 've been

Hi Acid,

We 've been thinking about hi-res, because they are indeed the future of sound design.

However, our system doesn't support these yet, so we 'll have to wait.

Most people are happy with 44.1/16 bit, (which is CD quality!), so I think we 're good enough for now.

But its something we will introduce in the future for sure.
