that's the standard "CD-quality" sampling rate. I believe you can record at 48khz with Sound Forge -- which is slightly better technially speaking, but you'd need to convert to 44.1khz to record to CD anyway.
44.1khz should sound fine on a big system, but this is just the inherent properties of the file - how many times the waveform is being sliced up per second. If your original material sounds like it was played through an AM radio that's 20 feet away from the microphone, it will sound like that no matter what sampling rate you use. Intelligent use of EQ, compression and effects will make a much more pronounced difference in its sound when played back at full tilt. - jobot ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, September 15, 2004 7:17 am Subject: (313) Dullards digital music Q > Hi. > > Could someone help the kid at the back of the class with the > Dunce's hat > on? > > Digital music: > > My soundforge is set to record at "44,100 Hz 16 Bit Stereo" > (for a wav file) > > Is this OK? > Will it sound bad on a loud system? > > Thanks in advance, and sorry for the boring topic. > > Alex > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > > --------------------- End of message text -------------------- > > This e-mail is sent by the above named in their > individual, non-business capacity and is not on > behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers. > > PricewaterhouseCoopers may monitor outgoing and incoming > e-mails and other telecommunications on its e-mail and > telecommunications systems.
