(Tips and Hints)Record Sample Rate
When deciding at what rate to record a sample, keep in mind that the higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality but the more memory used. We recommend that you experiment to find out how the quality differs with lower sampling rates for both voice and music recording. Notice that the sound quality of voice recordings don’t improve much above a record rate of about 7,000 Hz while music sound quality drops dramatically when recorded at the lower rates.
In general, voice recordings require lower sample rates (around 7,000) while music (especially from CD’s) require higher sample rates (we recommend the maximum, 15,184 for stereo and 30,368 for mono).
Stereo or Mono?
When deciding whether to record a file in stereo or mono, consider these points;
◊Do you have a stereo signal?
If you have only a mono signal, there is no reason to record in stereo; mono recordings can play back through both speakers.
◊In the stereo mode, your maximum record rate is cut in half (from 30,368 Hz to 15,184 Hz) although you can still play back at the max. sampling rate.
◊If you want control of both left and right channel outputs of a mono recording, you can:
1)Record the input in mono.
2)Paste it to a blank stereo file.
3)Edit the left and right channel separately. (See
"Effect Channel” p.41.)
This allows you to record and play back at a higher sampling rate than if you make the recording in stereo. (See also, “Traveling Sound” p. 56.)
