Reason's export max audio resolution

[Rising Night Wave]

oy ya all!

what is the max of reason daw export audio resolution?
is this depending on your audio hardware or is reason daw limited to 24bit/192khz max natively?

thnx.

It is totally in Reason's control. Reason could export at some insanely high/low sample rate and 64 bit float (by upsampling and 'padding') even if your interface wouldn't actually allow you to hear it first (or even after exporting, if your hardware can't support the format). The two are not connected, simply put.

sorry selig, i do not understand you.

let me put it this way:

i am creating a song. then i finish it. and then i want to make an export of this song into a .WAV file.
so... from menu File i chse Expors Song as Audio File... then i name the file... and then i have to select Sample rate and Bit depth.
okey.

now. the question:

is Reason DAW limited to 192khz/24bit max when exporting song to a .WAV file? i am always exporting to a WAV file.
or is this only in my case since my hardware is limited to 192khz/24bit? i own a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen audio interface which is limited to 192khz/24bit.

for instance: Cakewalk has much greater export capabilities. it was not that much long ago when i tried Cakewalk DAW.
let's say one-to-two years ago. i downloaded it, installed it and tried it. and when i wanted to export song i created i had much greater values to choose from than Reason DAW has. if i am not wrong even at 64bit/768khz.

Sorry, I guess I'm not following today. Reason is limited to what you see when you export, which is determined by the programmers choice. The hardware is limiting what you hear on playback. That is why you can export at such extremes on some DAWs, I'm guessing, though I've had no experience with it myself.

Just curious, what is it you're wanting to do?

[Rising Night Wave]

nothing. just asking.

The question is why would you need more then 192kHz/24bit or even 48kHz/24bit?

[Rising Night Wave]

do not ask that me. ask experts.

Experts agree that having additional high frequency content in audio files that are meant to be played back can lead to degraded quality due to bad DAC filters. So, why do you think you need more then 192kHz/24bit or even 48kHz/24bit?

EDIT: Some experts prefer if their (amateur) clients export the audio in 32bit floating point as that format does not clip and thus possibly removes one roundtrip of asking for usable files/stems, but in general it's no big deal to just dial back the master fader a little bit before exporting the audio if clipping a 24bit file is of concern. But if Reason simply added the 32bit FP export option I would not mind, especially as implementing it should be a piece of cake as Reason is using it internally anyway.

I had a lengthy thread about this.
