Bit Depth
Definition
The number of bits used to represent each audio sample in a digital recording. Higher bit depth provides more amplitude resolution and greater dynamic range. Common values are 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit float.
In Simple Terms
How precisely your recording captures volume differences — from the softest whisper to the loudest hit. Higher bit depth means more detail and less noise in quiet parts. Record at 24-bit, deliver at 16-bit.
