HOW PRODUCERS USE BITRATE

Better Exports.
Cleaner Delivery.

Bitrate, sample rate, bit depth, and format all affect file size and quality. Use the right setting for the job before sending beats, mixes, masters, or upload files.

01

MP3 Previews

Use MP3 for quick sharing, beat previews, client references, and email delivery when file size matters.

02

WAV Delivery

Use WAV for final mixes, mastering, distribution uploads, and high-quality project delivery.

03

Sample Rate

44.1 kHz is common for music. 48 kHz is common for video, sync, content, and film workflows.

04

Bit Depth

24-bit WAV is a strong professional standard for mix delivery, mastering, and archive files.
