Will sampling drum sounds that are 24bit/96hz into 16bit/44h

i'm interested in buying the goldbaby super analogue 808s but they are in 24bit 96hz. i'm wondering how much they will be degraded sampling in 16 bit 44.1 hz. if it will **** up the samples too much i don't wanna spend $39.

you won't even notice.

great sample packs.

exactly. you won't notice. most people can't hear very much at all above ~20kHz or so; that's where the 44.1kHz standard came from, a little more than twice that.
16 vs 24 bit, maybe, if you did some sort of abx test, you might possibly notice a teeny bit. but otherwise, you won't.

it's basically just nowadays, memory (and bandwidth) is so cheap, so there's much less of a reason not to sample things at the highest quality available.

I find that 24bit 44.1 is noticeably better especially on vocals than 16bit 44.1khz.

For $39 you can't go wrong either way. Keep the 24/96 files in a separate folder in case you ever switch to a software sampler or MPC 4000, and sample directly into your MPC or batch convert in one go.

Working at 24 bit comes into its own when working with heavy track counts, but 16 bit covers most eventualities if that's all you can stretch to.
