This sets the sampling frequency for recording.
Higher sampling frequencies allow higher-quality recording but produce larger
project files, meaning that there will be less available recording time on the hard
disk.
The 44.1 kHz setting is sufficient when recording audio that falls within the nor-
mally audible range. This frequency is also the most suitable to use if you are go-
ing to load the recorded file into your computer and create a music CD from it.
You can use the higher frequency settings when recording audio that contains a
significant amount of high-frequency content, from instruments such as cym-
bals, or when you want to capture the brightness and transparency of a natural
environment.

Rec Bit
16 bit,

24 bit
This sets the sample size (bit depth) for recording. A larger sample size allows
the sound to be captured in greater detail but produces a larger project file,
meaning that there will be less available recording time on the hard disk.
Use the 16-bit setting for normal recording. This setting allows the broadest
compatibility when loading the recorded file into your computer for playback.
Use the 24-bit setting if you want to capture the tonal character and ambience in
greater detail, such as when recording an instrumental or vocal performance.
