Re: Data Rate Question

The problem is that it may sound OK to you during editing, but when it gets re-compressed (in the distribution codec), it could very easily come out really really horrid.

I would IMMEDIATELY make a test recording of a minute or two in the ultimate output format (DVD or whatever) and evaluate THAT final, distributed sound track to see whether the quality meets your standards. Don't hold your breath.

I would REALLY REALLY go after the sound guy to get the original files. Call his mother.
