Encanto Tropical Mix 1

[Cudjoe]

Hi!

I forget the exact figures, but a 32 bit float file gives you a db range of around 700db or so.  The loudest sound physically capable of being generated on planet earth is around 200db or so I think.  This is why a 32 bit float file will not clip, and is useful format for recording.

The maximum (highest) frequency you can record is half the sample rate.  So at 88.2kHz the highest frequency you can record is 44.1kHz.  Human hearing maximum range is up to 20kHz.  Most people's maximum will likely be somewhere between around 12-16kHz for those of us not in our 20's, or something like that.  That's assuming your microphone and equipment can handle that too.

I am just saying that in the past I discovered some plugins that sounded different at higher sample rates because they worked differently at higher bit rates / sample rates as the plugins eq points changed internally when you switched sample rates, which they weren't supposed to. Eg you would set an eq at 100Hz and it would jump to 200Hz or something when you increased the sampe rate, but wouldn't reflect that on the plugin controls.

Anyway, I won't labour the point (any further ). Probably just me but I thought it might be of interest.

Cheers!
