jettafc Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I am just a beginner in computer music. I have download some 24bit wav days ago, as a result the codec info shows that they are all in 16bit 44100Hz. Are they not really 24bit, only upsampling ? Link to comment
avta Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Would you tell us more about your system? Something like a flow diagram would help detailing where the music files start and where they end. Link to comment
InfernoSTi Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Same questions as avta…specifically: 1. What was the source of the files? Sometimes they have download options that include 16/44 and the 24 bit needs selecting (not saying you made this mistake but that it could have been the issue on the distributor's side). 2. What is your playback software? Sometimes the software can down sample higher bit rates unless certain options are selected. 3. What is your DAC (if any)? How are you playing back to your amplifier and speakers/headphones? Positive emotions enhance our musical experiences.
