Should I use 44.1 or 48?
Here's the bottom line. I recommend that you record with a sample rate of 48kHz. I recommend that you then bounce down to 44.1kHz for the final release. Recording at 48kHz enables you to record everything within the range of human hearing while leaving ample room for the anti-aliasing filter.
Is 192kHz a good sample rate?
For mastering, 96kHz or even archival mastering at 192kHz is usually a good idea. Regardless, recording at 44.1 or 48kHz through a high-quality modern audio interface will give you excellent results, depending on the situation, very similar to what you'd get at higher rates.
Is 24 bit 48 kHz good?
24 bit, 48 kHz is a good balance between quality and file size, so that's what I recommend for most producers. Our powerful, AI-driven mastering engine listens to your song and delivers pristine, studio-quality music that's ready for release.
What is 48kHz sample rate?
In a 48 kHz sample rate, 48,000 samples (or “snapshots”) are taken per second. Likewise, a 96 kHz sample rate means 96,000 samples per second. On the other hand, an analog waveform is continuous rather than made up of thousands of samples per second.
