[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Mark Goslett is a London-based music producer and member of the Music Producers Guild. His unrelenting pursuit of excellence in the studio, and decades of work as a musician has brought him to the forefront of the music industry, where his credits include: TV commercials, emerging artists, and a profusion of live sound engineering engagements.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s an expert in Apple\u2019s Logic Pro X software, and in this lesson he teaches how to create a new session and choose the appropriate sample rate and\u00a0bit depth!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you fire up Logic for the first time, you’ll be greeted by a window asking you what you want to open. You’ll have the option of opening existing sessions or creating a new one. Logic offers several session templates to get you going, or you can open a new empty project. In this case, Empty Project is fine.<\/p>\n

Next, you’ll be asked what kind of track you want to begin recording. Here, choosing an Audio Track is fine. You always have the ability to add more tracks later. We’re primarily more concerned with how to set the sample rate and bit depth once a new session is already open.<\/p>\n

Sample Rate<\/h5>\n

You’ll find the ability to change sample rate from the\u00a0File > Project Settings > Audio\u00a0<\/strong>menu. The default sample rate is 44.1 kHz with options all the way up to 192 kHz. The higher the sample rate, the better quality your recordings will be. However, the file size will be significantly greater as well.<\/p>\n

As a general rule of thumb, your sample rate should be twice as high as the highest frequency you intend to record. As the human ear only goes up to 20 kHz in the most extreme cases, the default 44.1 kHz is quite adequate.<\/p>\n
