Can you hear the difference between 48kHz and 96kHz?
Is there really a difference in sound between lower sampling rates like 44.1 and 48 KHz and hi-res such as 88.2 and 96 KHz? Yes there is but it's not for the reason you might think. It's not likely to be the difference in high frequencies that you'll hear. The range of human hearing is 20 Hz to 20 KHz.
Does downsampling affect quality?
Yes, but don't worry about it too much. Some of the best sounding drums ever come out of 12 bit samplers, perfection is not necessary IMO. My sampler samples at 20,500 hz yet still sounds good. By definition it's a reduction of quality.
Should I use 48kHz or 96kHz?
48 kHz is the standard for music or sound placed in a movie or video. 96 kHz offers several advantages for both recording and mixing, but the main downside is that it requires more processing power from your computer and results in significantly larger audio files.
What is downsampling in audio?
(1) To make a digital audio signal smaller by lowering its sampling rate or sample size (bits per sample). Downsampling is done to decrease the bit rate when transmitting over a limited bandwidth or to convert to a more limited audio format.
Can you convert 44.1 kHz to 48kHz?
To do this, open the audio using a free audio editing software, such as Audacity. Once you have the audio loaded, go to Project Rate (Hz), which is at the bottom left of the program, and then click on the V sign and change it from 44100 to 48000, and then go to File>Export>Export as WAV and then click on Save.
