Recommended Audio Settings for Rap Recording

Bit Depth & Sample Rate

• Record at 24-bit depth for high quality and dynamic range.
• Use a sample rate of 44.1kHz or 48kHz (both are industry standards).

Bitrate

• If exporting in compressed formats, use at least 1536kbps. (For uncompressed WAV/AIFF, bitrate is not a concern.)

Latency

• Keep recording latency under 10ms to avoid noticeable delays.
• Set your audio interface buffer size to 128–256 samples for low latency.

Other Basic Settings

• Stay 5–10 cm from the microphone.
• Set input gain so peaks hit -10 to -12dB (to avoid clipping).
• Adjust EQ and compression as needed.
