Make sure you tune into the my Audionerds podcast every Wednesday linktr.ee/myaudionerds?fbclid=PAAaZRI0AawoKNAut1qc_HfZ7jYANFKVTTQR4ojPt-5YREDw2wKwRhbOw_Wxg
I've watched 4 other videos, and this guy is the only one with the ability simplify and truly caters to real and actual beginners. When other channels make a tutorial for "beginners" their explanations/tutorials are a contradiction since they almost always require and depend on the viewer having some amount of prior knowledge in order to understand. This guy just easily simplified and answered what 4 other channels failed at, all within the first 3min of this video
I asked my engineer this question years ago (multi-platinum industry engineer who records in 48). He said that by the time it reaches the listener it’s in 44.1 so if it sounds good in that sample rate you know it’s a good mix. I’m not an engineer so I’m just restating what he said, it made sense to me
Awesome explanation! I record 96k currently but only because I record a lot of vocals. It might be in my head but I swear 44.1k really accentuates the harshness of lower end under $300 mics (which is all I have) where 96k really tames it quite a bit. Also Melodyne and any time stretching seems to sound noticeably better and less artifacty at 96k.
Its true and rhetorical reason is since you have a higher sample rate meaning you have more sample of the audio to manipulate look at it like frame rate in film so time stretching tools sound better
For 23 years I've picked up different things, and one thing, long before RUclips was here is, when you use a higher bitrate to mix and create a song in, rendering it down from a higher bit say 32 bit, to 16 yields less problems when you bounce down. Always mixing in 32 Bit gives you more headroom, and if you mix in only 16 bit, you're going to have a very hard time not clipping your signal, there is just a lot of headroom missing. I believe this is downsampling. But sample rate, if you use 48Khz in a DAW that has VST's and play them, your quality will be much higher when you hear. Some upsample for the sake of fidelity, if that's the best way I can explain it.
after recording guitar at 44.1 and 196 i can say i hear a difference, more smooth less harsh. that being said i can see why drums or samples you wouldn’t necessarily care about smoothness and want a bit more ruff sound
Thanx Devon ...from South Africa Cape Town...uv explained it so well ...that parable works wonders in my brain...myb its bcoz im a Christian...thanx again Mabradah ...😊😎
I remember going into sample rate rabbithole on the internet! 😆So much opinions! Thanks Devvon! It's nice to know that 48khz is fine because my plugins dont work at 100+ kghz
Thanks for the video and all.the others. You explain things very clear to me. Love it. Can you make a video regards bit rate. 24bit or 32bit float, etc.... which is better to use. Similar to.this kind of video.
Also worth mentioning that with a fast enough CPU (and most newish CPUs qualify here) raising the sample rate will allow you to push latency even lower. Latency in the DAW world is in *samples*, so, more samples per second, ie a higher sample rate, will allow you to achieve lower latency for monitoring purposes. Which, worth understanding that, at 48k, running at 128 samples you're already well below the human threshold of perception, and 128 samples is probably enough of a buffer to keep for most plugins you'd want to monitor while recording. The other thing that sample rate gives you is the potential to apply more processing to something while retaining its natural qualities. That's very situational and 48k is fine for almost everything.
i nearly had to hand my song over to be mastered elsewhere ,not realising im loading my song templates at 48htz ,this should make a difference if i go 41? just me and a piano so should lose any great detail ? i hope
Very informative! I think if you could also some light on the effect it has on the CPU, it would be really helpful. The only reason that is stopping me from shifting 96Khz is the lack of understanding of how it would affect my CPU. Thanks! :) Love from India!
I’m curious if you would know why on my presonus ai at 44.1 I had quite a bit of floor noise like a hiss when recording changed it to 48 and it was a completely clear recording. Is that normal?
I always produced in 44.1 Khz. Do you think music platforms may stop accepting 44.1 Khz in near future? Or we don't have to worry about it? They're always requesting higher standards for artwork pictures and all
you explain this in relation to analog to digital, but what about working fully in the box? When you export your vst-plugins to audio you will also have to chose a sample rate?
Also can you change sample rate and buffer size during a pro tools session? like I heard that you should produce and mix and 1 number and record at another number. Why is that a thing and should and could you do this?
low buffer size means less latency but less power, high buffer means more latency (which doesn’t matter if you aren’t tracking anything) and more power. set it as low as you can while tracking (you’ll start to hear degradation and pops if it’s too low) and high as you can while mixing. y some interfaces also let you direct monitor and bypass the processing so there’s 0 latency (but also a totally dry signal).
Guys i fvkd up. I been recording With 44.1 on my Octopre Mkii mic pre via Adat... And it sounds terrible i been asking myself why until i saw At the back of my mic pre its written "4800" 😢 so guy is there a way i can fix this without re-recording?
Great video! I’ve noticed that if my Protools Session is set to 48k … but I import a beat that was made at 44.1 ….: the tempo will change when I import it …. Is that normal?
It may be the way that you're importing the beat. Even at 88.2kHz I've never had that issue. Try applying an SRC and changing the dropdown to tweakhead. It should be fine after that assuming that import using the import option and not just dragging and dropping the beat in the session.
Dude, you're gifted as a teacher. Maybe you should serve in a church somewhere to explain the matrix of divine faith to young people out there before OnlyFan took them
Never helpful! First time hearing about it this pass day or days this week and I I’d resend completely because you’re teaching references are similar to me/ thank you
PLEASE GET SOMEONE TO ATTEND TO ME , I WANT TO BUY A TEMPLATE YOU BUT I NEED A TEMPLATE WITH A DRUM BUSS , INSTRUMENT BUSS , VOCAL BUSS I MEAN A COMPLETE TEMPLATE...HELP ME OUT COS MOST OF THE TEMPLATE ARE VOCAL BUS ONLY....BUT I NEED A COMPLETE ONE.. .

Try 48k
ITS A DELUSION MY GUY

I agree. I do a lot of vocals and 96k has less harshness. It’s like vocals get gritty at a lower sampler rate
This is the best teacher we have in the RUclips community ✊️

Bro has become a legend so fast
nailed it! picked up what you were putting down by 1:39
The pictures analogy is a good one. But it'd have been much more effective if you'd pixellated the video to show the effect.
This was really well explained and informative, probably the best explanation of it i heard, thank you

Thanks for breaking it down for us like that bro 🔥

The Most Excellent video my bro ,Humorous but by far the Greatest Explanation ive heard ,ill asume im gonna be watching alot of you ,fairplay
i nearly had to hand my song over to be mastered elsewhere ,not realising im loading my song templates at 48htz ,this should make a difference if i go 41? just me and a piano so should lose any great detail ? i hope

i do hear a difference i wish i didn't but i do. the sound seems more controlled as you say tighter.
dude im so glad i found your channel, you are awesome
This was so helpful.
Thank you Devon
❤ from Nigeria.
Thank you for perfectly explaining it.
You explain audio soooo well!💙
Excellent video! Thank you!
te best explaining ever bro, keep it up
wow, what a great explanation, thank you. how does bit depth fit into the digital club metaphor?
I’ll make a video on that next!
thank you bro D
you are an amazing teacher
OMG!! You give clarity to this mixing P
Thanks, Devvon!
Very well explained, thanks
Thank you! Very helpful!!
Thank you for your presentation. I couldn't keep up with you, but you sound good. lol.
This was a great way to explain this...I stick to 48 24 bit myself!
I understood samples but I didn’t really understand the importance of good converters. This is is a good video even though I usually use 48k myself.
Very well explained. 👏
It really doesn’t matter no one can tell the difference. I.still record to cd using wav 44.1 @16
This is crazy good bro
Always informative
Wow, you're a great teacher.
also 48k should help to clean some aliasing compared to 44.1, not like oversampling as such but helps a little...
so informative thanks
you should give a few examples of an ideal, audio interface
Also, aliasing.
My Man❤
Plz make a video on 16, 32,and 24 bit ...thanx 😎
I’m curious if you would know why on my presonus ai at 44.1 I had quite a bit of floor noise like a hiss when recording changed it to 48 and it was a completely clear recording. Is that normal?
Quick one... After using 48 from beat making recording mixing and master finally you bounce in 41 right ? would it affect the sound ?
its like taking 4k video and adjusting it to fit in 1080p. good question tho.
How you gone hate from outside of the audio interface, you can't even get in?
I always produced in 44.1 Khz. Do you think music platforms may stop accepting 44.1 Khz in near future? Or we don't have to worry about it? They're always requesting higher standards for artwork pictures and all
I got a question I hoped you would answer. Why if I compare the same audio but in different sample rates the higher rate is faster than the lower one?
you explain this in relation to analog to digital, but what about working fully in the box? When you export your vst-plugins to audio you will also have to chose a sample rate?
yes, you set a sample rate going in and you set one going out, during export.
Question
If I produce,recorded and mixed in 44.1kHz
Does mastering in 48 do anything?
im using a neumann u87 & apollo twin x should i go higher then 48 hz ?
Thanks
Nice 👌🏾
Also can you change sample rate and buffer size during a pro tools session? like I heard that you should produce and mix and 1 number and record at another number. Why is that a thing and should and could you do this?
This should help you out bro: ruclips.net/video/4Jm2cK2Wbvc/видео.html

@@ray_maestro_ anytime man ✊🏾
I recorded my whole song in 48k and when I went upload the song on the distribution service they said the bit depth is too high make in 44.1k
God blesss

Most 🔌 adapt have noise..get a standard pre amplifier that uses direct ac power...using 48v phantom power 🎤 mic input/out to enjoy good sound 🔊 period
But in general you only need 44.1kHz, because that's what makes the audio sound normal and accurate.
Great video!
I’ve noticed that if my Protools Session is set to 48k … but I import a beat that was made at 44.1 ….: the tempo will change when I import it ….
Is that normal?
yup usally happens. when sample ratez arent the same
It may be the way that you're importing the beat.
Even at 88.2kHz I've never had that issue. Try applying an SRC and changing the dropdown to tweakhead. It should be fine after that assuming that import using the import option and not just dragging and dropping the beat in the session.
@@AriJordan i wish my pro tools can detect the tempo of the beat so i dont have to keep adjusting the tempo everytime i add the beat to pro tools

PLEASE GET SOMEONE TO ATTEND TO ME , I WANT TO BUY A TEMPLATE
YOU BUT I NEED A TEMPLATE WITH A DRUM BUSS , INSTRUMENT BUSS , VOCAL BUSS I MEAN A COMPLETE TEMPLATE...HELP ME OUT COS MOST OF THE TEMPLATE ARE VOCAL BUS ONLY....BUT I NEED A COMPLETE ONE..
.
Google the specific templates that you need, I don't think that you're going to find a template with everything
You can't be serious abt music, yet you're here buying templates left and right. Learn the process yourself. If you need a template, then you don't knw what you're doing.
If you can't hear the difference you don't listen go music my guy💔
What about buffer size? Do they relate?
It depends on whether you're miing or tracking.
For mixing use a higher buffer size so that your DAW can handle the plugins and the processing in general
For tracking, use a lower buffer size because you normally don't need a higher buffer size to track audio doesn't take up that much processing power and the less you use while tracking you'll have more room processing during the mixing stage try to stick with a 128 for tracking.
48khz is "spacial". Its the future regardless of your opinion. ain easy mixing in 48 ill tell u that.
I mean I'be mixed at much higher sample rates especially when working on my own sessions. So 48 is kinds basic, it's what 44.1 was 10 years ago tbh.
