Is 192 sample rate good?

There’s much debate whether sample rates higher than 44.1kHz, like 96kHz or even 192kHz, yield a significant sonic improvement. According to many people, higher sample rates aren’t necessary. Yet others insist higher sample rates are audibly better.

What sample rate should I record at 2020?

“For recording music or dialogue at home, I recommend recording at 44.1kHz.” Ultimately it’s something that you don’t want to have to worry about. With a sample rate of 44.1kHz your system will run smoother, the files will take up less space and you won’t have to worry about any compatibility issues.

How does sampling rate affect sound quality?

The sample rate is how many samples, or measurements, of the sound are taken each second. The more samples that are taken, the more detail about where the waves rise and fall is recorded and the higher the quality of the audio. Also, the shape of the sound wave is captured more accurately.

What sample rate and bit depth should I use?

As a music producer, you can pretty much follow the advice we have provided so far – you should generally aim for a sample rate of 44,100hz for producing music with a bit depth of 24 bits. As a video producer, you should increase this to 48,000hz for your sample rate and a bit depth of 16 bits.

Should I record vocals at 192kHz?

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 48kHz sample rate enough?

Recording at 48kHz enables you to record everything within the range of human hearing while leaving ample room for the anti-aliasing filter. I don’t recommend recording any higher than 48kHz. That’s because the higher the sample rate, the bigger the file sizes and the more processing power they require.

Should I use higher sample rate?

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.
