Question about wav/flac sample rate/frequency...
Ok, I'm pretty techno savvy, but...
I have a show that I mastered. When I did the mastering, my editor automatically upsamples to 48khz/24bit. So, I get done doing my thing & decide to downsample the set for sharing, because most want 44.1khz/16bit & so I did it & flac wrap it (flac 8)... So, now, when I open the folder & look @ the media info, it says: Quote:
Am I confusing this with a different freq/sample rate? Or should it be 1400, or ? I'm also not sure why it's variable... Anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated - thanks in advance... (edit) Also, now, would this be considered lossy here (897 kbps) ? No members have liked this post.

Re: Question about wav/flac sample rate/frequency...
When FLAC compresses a WAV file it reduces the bitrate (losslessly), which is why you see a reduction in the bitrate. But unlike MP3, there is no reduction in the quality of the audio - just the size.
In summation, everything is fine. Some WAV files will compress more efficiently with FLAC so the bitrate may be even lower in some cases ![]() No members have liked this post.

Re: Question about wav/flac sample rate/frequency...
not related, but get your editor to quit upsampling! waste of time and an extra dither step that isn't needed.. changes the audio a bit.

Re: Question about wav/flac sample rate/frequency...
Ok, thanks!
Actually, it turns out, my editor isn't set that way anymore anyway. I used to have it set that way a long time ago... But, yes looking deeper into it, I downloaded a flac set from someone else & it was lower bitrate yet. When I convert to wav again, I see the bitrate is correct... No members have liked this post.
