Excellent article about why 16-bit / 48-kHz audio settings are plenty good enough for delivery.

Excellent article about why 16-bit / 48-kHz audio settings are plenty good enough for delivery. 24-bits is very useful for mastering and editing to avoid clipping when recording and quantization when mixing, but when you get to the final render 16 bits is plenty. I also liked the note that 192 kHz actually makes the audio quality worse than 48 kHz due to high-frequency aliasing in equipment that’s not designed to remove it.
