What sample rate should I use Adobe Audition?
Note: Although you can work with sample rates ranging from 6000 to 192,000 Hz in Adobe Audition, your sound card may not be capable of playing all rates properly.
What sample rate should I export at?
44.1 kHz
When sending your mix to a mastering engineer, always export your song at the sample rate you’ve recorded at. Most people tend to record and produce music at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz, but if you’ve recorded your audio at a higher sample rate, export your project at the higher sample rate.
How do you calculate sample rate and bit depth?
Open your audio file with the QuickTime player. Open the Movie Inspector by clicking “Window>Show Movie Inspector” in the menu or simply by hitting ⌘+I ( Command I ) Under format you see the current sample rate and bit depth of your audio file.
Is a higher sample rate better?
The higher sample rate technically leads to more measurements per second and a closer recreation of the original audio, so 48 kHz is often used in “professional audio” contexts more than music contexts. For instance, it’s the standard sample rate in audio for video.
What is the difference between bitrate and sample rate?
In summary, sample rate is the number of audio samples recorded per unit of time and bit depth measures how precisely the samples were encoded. Finally, the bit rate is the amount of bits that are recorded per unit of time.
Should I use 48k or 44.1 K?
However, when converting from 48 kHz to 44.1 kHz, your mix may not sound as good. Basically, if you are planning to burn your music to CD, 44.1 kHz remains your best option.
Is 16 bit or 24 bit audio better?
There is something of a misconception that higher bit depths result in better quality audio or higher fidelity sound. So a 24 bit audio file won’t sound more detailed and clear than a 16 bit audio file. Instead, as we’ve already established, it simply means that a higher bit depth will have a lower noise floor.
How do you calculate the sample bit?
The bit rate is calculated using the formula:
- Frequency × bit depth × channels = bit rate.
- 44,100 samples per second × 16 bits per sample × 2 channels = 1,411,200 bits per second (or 1,411.2 kbps)
- 1,411,200 × 240 = 338,688,000 bits (or 40.37 megabytes)
What bitrate and sample rate should I use?
For most music applications, 44.1 kHz is the best sample rate to go for. 48 kHz is common when creating music or other audio for video. Higher sample rates can have advantages for professional music and audio production work, but many professionals work at 44.1 kHz.
