Good points about the sample rate. I've seen folks come into the Sonar forums through the years with sample rate mismatch issues. And they are problematic.

Do check that. I don't think the bit rates are as big an issue.... at least not for me.

I always record at 24 bits, sampled at 44.1k and no doubt some folks are sending me 16 bit tracks for inclusion into my projects on collabs and commercial things..... there's never an issue playing either and my mixdown always converts the final mix to 16/44.1 (CD quality)

Some of the commercial formats do use 48k sample rates so check to see that everything in your recording setup is set to use the same rate...and for standard audio.... 44.1k is the choice and industry standard.
