Sampling Rate and Bit Depth
Sample Rate and Bit Depth settings are found in a drop down menu in the audio or sound control panel of your computer. You
can adjust these variables to fit your needs. Select a lower sample rate for podcast recording, when it is important to have a
smaller file for easy download. Select a higher sample rate for music and more dynamic recordings.
Tip:
Record at a higher sample rate and bounce down to an M4A for a file with the highest sound quality at a manageable size.
Tip for PC users:
Make sure that the sample rate and bit depth microphone settings, found in the sound control panel of the
computer, match with the sample rate and bit depth selected in your software.
