48 looks like one of those typical digital numbers

32 or 64 would be one of those... unless you see the digits individually 4 and 8... then I would agree
Yes, but I thought I have come across 96 and 192 khz sampling rates.
88.2kHz.
This is now the gold standard for hi-res recordings. Using this sample rate produces less distortion (called ‘aliasing’) when converting from analogue to digital and allows greater freedom when mixing and mastering.
Does the writer of this truely understand what aliasing is and how it originates?adobe wrote:Using this sample rate produces less distortion (called ‘aliasing’) when converting from analogue to digital
When I was creating synth audio demos for a certain developer, they always wanted the demos sent to them in 96kHz. I never had issues with that setting and the finished demos sounded great.YnJ wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 10:30 amThis is what I read and why it was recommended to me to use 48 kHz when recording, to make room to filter it out as far as I understood. And the convert it back to 44.1 kHz later
I was adviced not to use 96 kHz as some plug-ins might actually sound worse, I don't know which or how thoughWith 96khz this is not a problem anymore, since the frequency range is way beyond the hearing range, so if the aliasing happens you won't hear it.
Modern audio interfaces and well written audio software filters aliasing, but as I said this just a safety measure, not a strong requirement.
I want to observe that they are talking about analog to digital which does suffer from aliasing if the ADC filters are inadequate.. and 44.1kHz gives a transition band that's 20kHz to 22kHz which is not a whole lot, especially if you're trying to sample directly at 44.1kHz and need to do your brickwall in analog. So if they are comparing 44.1kHz vs. 88.2kHz the advice is not entirely dumb.. but obviously there's nothing special about 88.2kHz except that it's a slightly higher rate.
For me, they are all good numbers, because they are musical numbers (everything in blocks of eight... grids in a bar, bars in an eight bar song section etc). In fact, I'm so weird, I even sometimes let that logic influence me, when I'm moving sliders on fx plugins
