This is the number of samples per second (or per other unit) taken from a continuous signal. A higher sample rate typically allows for a higher quality recording. Typical sample rates: • 44.1 kHz – Typically known as “CD Quality”, this is the standard. • 48 kHz – This is the standard rate for audio for video. Blackwall Studios uses 48k as our in-house standard, however this can be increased/decreased upon request.
