I want to rip some music files from a DTS 24bit 5.1 48KHz track onto a CD that I could play on my car, which is 16bit 44.1KHz.
Just to see how it sounded, I used Audacity to convert to 2-channel wav, both in 48KHz and 44.1KHz sampling, comparing with the original video file. Except for the ambiance information, the front channels sounded pretty much the same on my relatively high quality home audio system.
What I wonder is:
1) Is Audacity the best program to go from DTS to wav?
2) What are the most transparent options for this task?
The final CD burn I will do with Exact Audio Copy, which does accept loading 48KHz files, but I wonder if it does convert the files to 44.1KHz.
Each music I will further process with Soundforge 8, to add start and end fades to each song, as the original track is live.
Another option would be to do a 5.1 disc that I could play at home, though I would have to change my car player onto a DVD player. If I wanted to go that way, what program or path should I go and how can I edit each song as I do with Soundforge?
