Where sample rate matters is when you do your final export/render. Okay, I also do In The Box (aka 'ITB') projects, and I'll offer this advice: Similar tasks may be added to existing projects too.

#MEDIAHUMAN AUDIO CONVERTER FREEZING UPDATE#

Think of these tasks as the templates you need for projects going forward and update your custom project templates. The current export dialog allows users to create tasks to export.

#MEDIAHUMAN AUDIO CONVERTER FREEZING SOFTWARE#

If the export file is going to be processed further (mastering?) use 32bit (or 64bit if the 64-bit Double Precision Engine is enabled and the mastering software can load the file). If the export file is for playback only, select a bit depth compatible with the playback device(s). What bit depth should be used for export depends on how the export file will be used.

In projects that have no audio clips, the Render Bit Depth is what matters as it serves as the default in the export dialog, however the actual bit depth used may be set in the export dialog. Thank you again! Edited Septemby Dave GĪs noted in the reply to 1, in projects that have no audio clips the sample rate is read from preferences every time the projects are opened. I apologize for having to repeat myself in these questions, but I'm documenting what I've learned so it sinks in. Otherwise, is it safe to say (per the statement about halfway through this thread) that a MIDI-only project doesn't require these adjustments? Either way, I may set these anyway to 44 kHz/24-bit in a template so every project follows this setting.

#MEDIAHUMAN AUDIO CONVERTER FREEZING WINDOWS#

Am I misunderstanding?ģ) Windows default 48 kHz sampling rate - could I have left it alone, or as long as it's higher than my DAW's 44 kHz? Or must it match exactly? (From what I recall, Cakewalk's default is 44 kHz.) So, relating to what you've all said, I was going to ask earlier:ġ) Considering these tracks are already in progress, at what point during production does sampling rate become important? (I'm guessing this has been answered.)Ģ) I feel confused that Figure 1 in my original post seems to represent the DAW's rate/depth settings, rather than the project's settings.

When composing MIDI back in the mid 90's, I don't recall any knowledge or adjustment of sampling rate or bit depth. However - when it comes time to finalize and 'preserve' my finished tracks, I may bounce them to audio so they won't have to rely on the necessary installed VST's years down the road. To reiterate, my projects are strictly instrumental MIDI / SoftSynth-driven tracks with no audio / recorded data whatsoever. Thank you, all, for the concise and detailed answers! Note that record bit depth is not used till you record audio (probably the case in your setup with Realtek). But every single bit is around 6dB, which you can have as a 'headroom' during recording to get equivalent precision. Real bit depth is around 20bit on good interfaces, extra bits are just noise (if you know SNR or Dynamic Range of your interface, you can estimate meaningful bit depth by dividing this number by 6).

Note that 16/24bit are fixed point numbers, audio interfaces always sample into fixed point numbers (even so drivers in some modes can transfer the data as 32bit and some interfaces claim they are 32bit). 32bit engine data will be saved 'as is' and in case of 64bit engine, 32bits is still sufficient (extreme and artificial processing is required to produce any difference in sound between 32bit and 64bit files, such processing is never used in real projects).īut record bit depth should be as high as your audio interface support. Normally render bit depth should be 32bit. Obviously the change has no influence on already recorded material, if you have recorded in 16bit, the file will stay 16bit after you change the setting to 24bit.Ĭakewalk internally process in 32bit (floating point) or 64bit (if 64bit engine setting is activated).

And it can be different for different settings at the same time. For several reasons, if you always use the same Sample Rate in Cakewalk better set the same in Windows.īit depth of everything can be changed any time. Also Cakewalk use the audio interface with current project sample rate (only). That is why the setting is called 'Default for New Project', that is one time decision at the project creation. So, if your project is already 44.1kHz, you can't change it later. Any project has fixed sample rate and it can't be changed.
