How many kHz is good quality?

44.1 kHz
44.1 kHz for audio CDs and typically the de facto standard for downloaded music, including popular formats like MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV, and others. 48 and 96 kHz is used for high-definition equipment and professional audio.

Should I record 48?

The current industry standard for picture is 48 kHz, so you’re better off recording in 48 kHz. Right? It’ll still depend on some other factors, but generally, YES. However, you can still export projects at 44.1 kHz as 48 kHz.

Are there 24 bit CDs?

Yes, on most burning programs you can make an audio CD out of a 24 bit file. But audio CDs are limited to 16 bit so you will only get 16 Bit, 44.1 kHz (that’s 44,100 samples per second, with each sample being 16 bits long).

What is a high quality sample rate?

High-resolution audio (High-definition audio or HD audio) is a term for audio files with greater than 44.1 kHz sample rate or higher than 16-bit audio bit depth. It commonly refers to 96 or 192 kHz sample rates.

Why are CD samples 44.1 kHz?

The limit of human hearing is approximately 20kHz, which hence requires a sample rate of approximately 40Khz. This is why CDs are sampled at 44Khz. i.e. each second of recording in a CD contains 44,000 measurements of the highest possible frequency contained in the recording.

What is the difference between 48 kHz and 44 1 kHz?

When sampling at 48 kHz, you are really capturing frequencies up to 24 kHz. The difference between 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz is miniscule when you consider that one second is an incredibly short span of time.

Is 192khz/24bit better than 441khz/16bit audio?

192kHz/24bit vs 44.1kHz/16bit audio – no quality difference? Today hi-res audio formats such as 192kHz/24bit are being introduced, claiming to improve sound quality compared to CD-quality 44.1kHz/16bit audio. But is that really true?

What is the difference between 16-bit and 24-bit audio?

Audio CDs allow 16-bit audio while DVDs and some digital formats allow 24-bit audio. In most cases, it is best to stick with 24-bit audio. It is becoming the standard and is used by most modern formats. With sample rates, you can down-sample to convert to a lower sample rate.

Is 48 kHz a good sample rate for speakers?

Even a 48 KHz sample rate can represent frequencies up to 20 KHz (the limit of human hearing). However the truth is that studies show most people over the age of 30 cannot hear anything above 17 KHz and this reduces further as you get older. Yet people reliably report that high sample rates like 88.2 and 96 KHz sound better than 44.1 and 48 KHz.
