Should I use 48kHz or 96kHz?

In some cases, such as audio-for-video work, you’ll generally want to stick to 48kHz or 96kHz for best compatibility with video requirements. For CD release, 44.1kHz is still the standard, though working at higher rates and sample rate converting the audio down to 44.1k is always an option.

Is it worth recording at 96kHz?

The verdict. Ultimately for recording, both camps are right. Recording at 96kHz can improve the sound quality but it can also make no difference, depending on your collection of plug-ins and the musical material. In any event, you do have to consider the CPU resources tradeoff.

Which is better a digital recording at 96kHz 16bit or one at 48kHz 24bit?

If you want good dynamic range, 24 bits is better than 16. On the other hand if you want better high-frequency response, 96 kHz is better than 48. According to Nyquist’s theorem a 48 kHz sampling rate handles frequencies up to 24 kHz perfectly so it’s not clear if having a higher sampling rate will actually gain much.

Why is a 48khz sample rate commonly used for film and video?

The main reason is that 48kHz gives enough headroom to catch most higher frequencies on the audible spectrum. Also, 48000 is divisible – 24, 25, 30 and for interlaced television 50 or 60. These are common frames per second increments used in film production.

What sample rate do pro studios use?

44.1KHz
The default sample rate and bit resolution for Studio Pros custom studio tracks and productions is 44.1KHz, 24bit. Recording at this rate will ensure your song will be recorded at the highest quality possible.

What sample rate do professional studios use?

The default sample rate and bit resolution for Studio Pros custom studio tracks and productions is 44.1KHz, 24bit. Recording at this rate will ensure your song will be recorded at the highest quality possible.

Should I record at 48khz?

In other words, 44.1 kHz captures all the audio bandwidth humans can hear, but the low pass filter may adversely affect audio below 20 kHz. For this and other reasons, it is recommended that we produce and mix pop music at 48 kHz. First, 48 kHz allows for better sounding anti-aliasing filters than 44.1.

Is 48khz good enough?

CD’s standard 44.1kHz Sampling Rate, and the Post Production industry’s standard 48 kHz Sampling Rate, guarantee bandwidth up to 22.5k or 24k, respectively, exceeding human hearing, which barely makes it to ~20 kHz.

Can you hear the difference between 48kHz and 192khz?

48khz: mids are very hard, top end was muffled. 96khz: Immediate noticeable difference from 48khz. Cleaner highs, mids are softer and smoother, bass is tighter. 192khz: Top end very airy, the “metallic” tone of the steel strings comes through.
