You set the preferences for ACID, Vegas and Sound Forge to 48k so you won't have the potential differences in sound quality due to conversions from one software to the other. It saves time, too.

From INSTALL I chose 48k - Couldn't believe the improvment in quality . . . . I don't know if I'm imagining this or not, but I feel that my SOund Card just burst into life.
There's not a huge difference between 44.1 & 48KHz - unless you own a soundblaster card which runs at 48KHz internally all the time, resampling any other sample rate going through, losing quality in the conversion. You'd have to have a pretty good monitoring system to hear this difference. Did you switch to 24 bit at the same time?
You know what..? unless you're really using alot of video apps, do yourselves a favor and get the CDA5; if you bought VV3 for macro audio aspects only, like I did, you owe it to yourselves...wonderful app for me so far...
