Hi everyone
I just have a question about the preferred sound quality for soundtrack music.
I haven't really paid that much attention to this before, but I notice that I can produce files with a bit rate of anything between 80 and 320 kbps and sample rate of either 44.1 or 48 kHz.
As far as I understand it, the quality gets better the higher these numbers go (allegedly - I'm not convinced I can hear a difference to be honest!). However, I also realise that the file size dramatically increases the larger these numbers get too, which may or may not prove inconvenient at a later date.
Any suggestions as to what are the preferred settings or ideal scenario (sample rate and bit rate vs file size)?
I know I could probably read pages and pages on this subject online somewhere (and likely understand little of it!), but what is this forum if not too ask each other such questions?![Slightly smiling face :slight_smile: 🙂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
Is there a sound guy/music supervisor or something out there with a preference?
Cheers![Thumbs up :thumbsup: 👍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png)
