16 bit vs 24 bit, 44.1khz vs 48 khz <-- please explain
Ok, so I understand that 44.1k is 44,100 samples per second and 48k is
48,000 samples per second. Obviously 48,000 is better. I'm not exactly sure what bit rate is though? CDs are 16 bit, DVDs are 24. What exactly does that mean though? Another question - if I'm recording a project to audio CD, is it better to just record at 16/44 since that's what the CD will be anyway, and I can save system resources? or should I do 24/48 and then dither it down, essentially changing what I originally heard? I read in the ProTools book by Berklee Press that its best to record on LE using 24/44 since you won't hear much difference between the 48k and 44.1k.
