I appreciate how he goes straight to the point. Good info in less than a minute

Someone who nailed it on the head. I stared using 96 year ago when I noticed I could get much lower latency for recording and the file size was reasonable.
Your video just killed just about every you tube sample rate debate video, and it only took 1 minute.

[Venomforyall]

Gold info under 1 minute. Many other channels would have stretched this out to over 10 minutes, respect!

[olympiamusic]

Been hearing this to use the higher sample rates for mixing. Others say it only makes your file bigger. Now I am hearing to record also from you. Didn't hear that before. TY.

It’s true about pitch shifting, when I pitch shift a song in 44.1 kHz it sounds like losing quality strenght clarity transients feel with less attack but when I pitch shift in 88.2 kHz it preserves the hi-fi quality of the mix 👍

[jedidiahgirio]

Great information! I didn’t know that about the pitch shifting or time stretching. Always cranking out the hits on MixbusTV! 🥇💿

[camilodias]

God of mixes thanks lord for the info I've been waiting 🙏

[LeakBanga]

Your channel is whats needed, I would like to see a step by step list of Clean Vocals approach for the Mixbus, And a list of melodic vocal chains to sound like mike dean

[ToHerbiarz]

Man this is killer info. Really. i will test it soon 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[djrandalldean]

HOLY SMOKES! thank you! Man... this is gold

[jakenuno]

When I first opened my studio, I used 96, then quickly filled up my hard drive space over and over, so I then swapped to 48. 😅 Now that I've been in business for 8 years, I moved back to 96 since hard drives are much cheaper, and faster, than not too long ago.

[LucasMichalski]

It's also worth mentioning that pitch correction also benefits from upsampling the audio—it’s not about the input, but about the potential for aliasing after the processing has been applied. Higher sample rates means less aliasing. So even having vocals recorded at 44.1, then upsampling them to 48 and then using pitch correction is useful practice.

Would you agree with that David?

[HollerAtcherBoi]

Literally hit every angle on the topic. Great point with tuning… I never even considered that

[olympiamusic]

I guess my question is what is the higher sample rate?

[AironExTv]

The time stretching is worth considering for the recording and editing phase.
In the mixing phase I prefer to drop down to 48kHz and introduce oversampling only to the non-linear processes. 96kHz is not enough to offset the potentially serious aliasing artefacts. Fabfilter Saturn for example uses 8x oversampling in HQ mode, so I'm more inclined to engage Reapers flexible oversampling capabilities if the plugin does not already support this by itself. Dan Worrals video on the matter of high sample rates is a good companion piece to this short IMHO.

[StevieBoyesmusic]

I've been editing vocals in separate 88.1K project for a while. Then using 48k for VSTi/digital drums as the samples are low samples rate anyway.

[ManCalledMif]

BAM! another no BS video. thanks for explaining why one might prefer a higher sample rate. I like 48 so matches the video audio rate (if I use the camera as a second mic). also, there may be smoother alignment with 24 frames per second video (but that's just a guess...)

[davejohnsonmusic]

I wish I could go back to 96kHz sessions. My rig just can't handle it anymore with my track counts now and plugins. The only way I could, would be to print the drums and other groups of elements to stems to free up resources. I can't mix like that because if I need to make a small change, then I gotta tweak and print again. Too much headache and time consuming. I need a dual cpu board for my Mac Pro to go up to 12 cores.

[GravytyMusic]

Thank you for correcting all the YouTuber "knowledge." We need more like you out here doing God's work.

[MeastrasElKachelino]

An engineer from Fabfilters UK disagrees. He suggests oversampling on every plugin instead of increasing the overall project sample rate. His figures locked at 44.1kHz as the appropriate for all recordings, and any figure above that doesn't help anything below 20kHz, and any aliasing is usually inaudible. He did an entire demo video explaining why.
