Two of my publishers only take 24/48 files.

Not if you're doing Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD, Dolby Atmos. My studio is setup at 24/96 as the standard. I do wish I could sample in stand alone at 24/96 and import 24/96 samples into the device.

Yes.. that is the standard for video productions. 24/48. I record at 24/96 and then dither down. I know people will say it does not matter, because we can't hear above 22Khz. But I have the lots of processing power and hard drives are inexpensive. Also after seeing how much space, RAW 8K video file take up, recording at 24/96 is nothing. :lol: I say record at the highest quality we can. :-D

Exactly. I was told years back by Grammy award winning engineers and everyday engineers that the dynamic in 24 bit a little more detail in sound. For example you can hear more detail in a delay tail.

All my drum sounds are 44.1/24 bit reso.

Rule of thumb: Turn it in, the exact format they request. :nod:
