In reply to Clément Roussillat.

Hi Clement,

It really depends on the conditions in which the sounds were recorded. Particularly, 8040 are fairly noise when it comes to frequency range above 20 kHz. Then there is also MixPre, although quiet, there is still chance of noise. It is hard to say really what is causing the noise in your case.

best,

“Complete library was recorded with a Sanken CO100K, Sennheiser MKH8040
and a MKH416 at a 192 kHz and 24 bit. Higher rate means that you can
pitch and stretch sounds as much as you want and will almost always get
an interesting results thanks to Sanken microphone.”

That’s exactly what I wanted to do with a pair of MKH8040 and a MixPre6 and I did get a beautiful stretched sound but also very noisy in high range. I wrote to Sound Devices and they tell me it’s quantization noise.

How is it possible to stretch a sound without getting this noise? Is the MixPre the problem?
