Is 48kHz better than 44khz?

First, 48 kHz allows for better sounding anti-aliasing filters than 44.1. Second, 48 kHz uses only slightly more disk space than 44.1. Third, videos usually require 48 kHz audio and much of our audio will be embedded in a YouTube or other video as part of distribution.

Should I use 48kHz?

To avoid being caught out with poor audio recordings that sound muffled, set your camera to 48kHz and leave it there. This will always ensure high quality, full-frequency sound when you’re shooting.

Is 48kHz good audio quality?

For most music applications, 44.1 kHz is the best sample rate to go for. 48 kHz is common when creating music or other audio for video. Higher sample rates can have advantages for professional music and audio production work, but many professionals work at 44.1 kHz.

Is 48kHz good for streaming?

48 kHz is recommended. Obs default is 44.1 as I remember.

Is 44.1 kHz good enough?

Based on our experience, 16-bit and 44.1 kHz provides the best audio quality you’re able to experience. Everything beyond that format tends to be a waste of drive capacity and, since the high-def recordings are more expensive, money as well.

Why is 48kHz used for video?

The main reason is that 48kHz gives enough headroom to catch most higher frequencies on the audible spectrum. Also, 48000 is divisible – 24, 25, 30 and for interlaced television 50 or 60. These are common frames per second increments used in film production.

Why does video use 48kHz?

Can you hear 44khz?

The range of human hearing is 20 Hz to 20 KHz. A 44.1 KHz sample rate (the sample rate of audio CDs) does reduce the high frequencies a little bit above 18 KHz. Higher sample rates do preserve these ultra high frequencies. Even a 48 KHz sample rate can represent frequencies up to 20 KHz (the limit of human hearing).

Is there an audible difference between 44.1 and 48?

It is important to note that humans cannot hear the difference between 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz audio. While some people claim that they notice a slight improvement in audio quality when selecting the higher audio rate, research indicates that 20 kHz is the limit to human hearing.
