M.I. doubleParticipantWhats the best Bit Rate to record a CD?
32
64
128
256
320Or should each song be at a different rate?

ddoubleParticipantwav is the best
the more you compress it the worse it sounds.
i would advise not lowering the quality for cd at all.
best to keep all tracks at the same rate as otherwise it will sound strange when it goes from track to track, and the sound quality jumps all over the place

sluggyParticipantThe bit rate for recording is underestimated.
You have bits and khz
Its like having a resolution existing of dots.
The higher the bitrate the more “dots” you have
to record the sound on, the better sound you get.The more calculating processes you make
/Effects/EQ/Dynamics, your sound will
be calculated over and over several times.
The higher the bitrate the better the Sound.khz is the depth the sound is written on the bits.
The higher khz the more depth.
From my experience, the BITrate is more
important than the khz. A higher Khz than
44,1 (CD-standard) seems to be good for
lower frequencies (Bass).Higher bitrates oder khz needs more (almost)
double space on your harddisk, remember!I never heard of using or did myself use
different bitrates on different Songs, especially
when recording a whole project. Might be that
you can experiment concerning styles (hiphop,
Rock, Fast oder Ballad) I wouldnt do that becausedisk space is not so expensive nowadays and the
same goes for quality soundcards.When you choose 24 bit and 96 khz you cant do
anything wrong with it.
If you want to have distortion-riskless-sortof tapelike behaviour
(depending on card an recording software) choose
32 bit ( some bits are added by sexy calculation in a cool wayYou dont have to take full 92 khz– 88,2 khz will do alright, too
(concerning disk-space). Dudes would say hey I dont feel the sound
is gettin worse and I use 44,1 khz…Just try and check…but If you want
to calculate a hack into and out of your recording, take at least 24 bit or
32 bit. You can feel a difference at vocals, bass, stringtype sounds, efx.
Even Drums.Your recording software helps you
to render and dither (processes of
calculating down and preventing
digital mistakes) your hott stuff wether
to CD, MP3, DVD…..etc.
CD Standard is 16 bit 44,1 khz
DVD gives you more like 24 bit 96 khz
depending on the style of music
HipHop, Orchestra, Pop, Dance
you hear odr hear not differences
in sound quality.
Suppose you want your 24 bit 96 khz
be rendered to CD…. so why not directly
record with 16 bit 44,1 khz then?When a higher resolution
of sound is calculated to a lower
resolution (whats already there is to be
calculated) will be better sounding than
directly record in lower sound quality.Also record in 16 bit 44, 1 khz
record the same in 24/32 bit
96 khz and hear for the difference.
Meanwhile
khz can be set to 192 and they workin
on better bitrates, too…
mmh ok
Question is for which purpose you record
your music 192 khz is , for example a good thing
for the frequencies of an orchestra…..Even Mp3 Quality is good enough for many people
and they accept it.
its a question of style, taste and purpose.
Have fun
