So, you didn’t read the designer’s rationale?
I mean all those “stupid” artist and pros, and thousands of us who have no such issues are just as stupid and wrong? <confused?>
Hope you find your cool soon. Immagonna jam on my stupid black box!
Nobody reads anymore don't you realize? Just say whatever they want behind their keyboards, without preface or context
Nobody talks either, so it's impossible to collaborate with others and get them to click '48k' in the dropdown menu
Nobody listens none either, cuz there are about 7 or more solutions here that will easily help the OP accomplish what he needs. Sure, you have to make a mouse click here or there or plug in a cable or two or shoot an email beforehand, but they will all accomplish the same end result
I'm guessing the end result isn't really that important cuz we're still here after all these pages of good advice.....
Fractal Audio systems was founded on the basis of QUALITY, a flag they have flown DAMNED high....higher than any other company I've ever seen.
To that end, they have made design considerations to achieve that end, whilst making the products usable, accessible and somehow even affordable.
One of these obviously was the reasoning to fix the unit at 48k, which is well explained if you take a minute to read. Reducing it to 44.1 yielded undesirable lack of quality and that's simply put, not what they are about.
As an electrical engineer myself, I would personally make the same call as Cliff - reducing the quality would only bring the quality of the unit into question, and more people would notice and have more issue with it than the couple stubborn users who refuse to change with the times. This would bring the Fractal name down to that of the POD, and it's honestly not worth the risk. Digital already has such a stigma that they have worked so hard to remove - to throw that away for what? One click convenience?
The unit has limitations, just as everything except the non-MCU Hulk. Learn to understand the unit, and you'll learn to work with the limitations or even around them. It simply has limitations, because well...physics....
I'm sure Cliff can make a 6 DSP 128GB unit with a 64x64 grid, hex string processing, USB 64in64out interface, 4 amp blocks, 8 cab blocks, octa-channel 192k beast unit that would cost about 8 grand, but there's still gonna be someone complaining that he NEEDS that 11th ultra reverb block, 5th amp block, 10,001th cab slot made available, etc etc.
Sorry guys, it doesn't make coffee...that would be convenient too, but this is a unit built on QUALITY not the convenience of trying to please everyone with 200 simultaneous shoddy fx and lesser than acceptable audio quality. This is Fractal Audio, not L6.
