Tip : Best Sample Rate and Audio Bit Depth for Recording Projects Ideally the best sample rate and audio bit depth for recording is as high as possible as your recording software and hardware can handle. Below are common sample rates used in recording: a.) 44.1 KHz b.) 48 KHz c.) 96 KHz d.) 192 KHz And below are the common audio bit depths: a.) 16-bit b.) 24-bit c.) 32-bit float But for most home studio applications, selecting 32-bit float and 192 KHz is not practical. It is because when you are tracking at this bit depth and sample rate; even a 2-second audio sine wave (the simplest form of audio wave) is already 1.46MB in file size. The real audio you are recording; that is the sound of your voice, guitars, etc are complex waveforms that demand VERY large file sizes when recorded at this given sample rate and bit depth.
