Guitar Center help needed

I was just talking about the dynamic range and frequency response, bit rate, noise floor and stuff like that. You can't add dynamic range back in. You can't add the bits from a 44 kHz into a 96 kHz recording. But you do loose stuff every time you do some changing of the sound, even if it's only a little. Better to start out with the best you can so you get a bit more room to play with it before you master it down to CD quality.
