Since the original 1 Hz wave is below the Nyquist frequency, it is interpreted with the correct frequency. So we have two 1 Hz waves but one of them starts at 1 and the other at -1; when they are added together, they create zero!
Another way we can see this phenomena is by looking at the graph. Since we are sampling at 4 Hz, that means we are observing and recording four evenly-spaced points between zero and one, one and two, three and four, etc… Take a look at the above graph and try to find 4 evenly-space points between zero and one but not including one.
You will find that every single one of these points corresponds with a value of zero! So aliasing can be a big issue! However, designers of digital audio recording and processing systems are aware of this and actually provision special filters called anti-aliasing filters to get rid of these unwanted effects.
Analog filters cannot just chop-off all frequencies above a certain point, they have to, more or less, gradually attenuate them. Modern electronics are rather good at reducing the amount of noise in a signal but they are far from perfect. Furthermore noise tends to be mostly present at higher frequencies; exactly the frequencies that end up getting aliased…. What effect would this have on the recorded signal?
Well if we believe that random signal noise is present at all frequencies above and below the Nyquist frequency , then our original signal would be masked with a layer of infinitely-loud aliased noise. Fortunately for digitally recorded music, the noise does stop at very high frequencies due to transmission-line effects a much more complicated topic.
Although So then, what can be said about recording at higher sample rates? Some new analog-to-digital converts for musical recording sample at kHz. Most, if not all, of the audio recording I do is done at a sample rate of 96 kHz. The benefit to recording at the higher sample rates is that you can recording high-frequency noise without it causing aliasing and distortion in the audible range.
With 96 kHz, you get a full 28 kHz of bandwidth beyond the audible range where noise can exist without causing problems. Since signals with frequencies up to around 9. And with that, a final correlation can be predicted: the greater the sample rate, the less noise will result in aliasing in the audible spectrum.

If you own a recording studio and insist on recording every second of audio in the highest possible sampling rate to get the best quality, read on and I hope inform you of the mathematical benefits of doing so… What is the Sampling Rate?
You're correct, any integer sample rate conversion should be more or less lossless. I think floating point conversions should also be undetectable if done with good enough quality settings. Sometimes you have to care about inter-sample overs, so decreasing gain slightly could be a good idea. Last edited: Aug 3, Veri Master Contributor.

I believe our ears are quite forgiving, which makes super-over-sampling the like a Chord M-Scaler does even more ridiculous. That's just my view on the matter, at least Veri said:.

Any idea why I can hear obvious resampling artifacts on my Windows 10 PC when playing a 48 kHz sweep with the mixer set to I just looked at the graph at that webpage. But I can imagine that in your testcase the java-sound engine made the conversion once it saw that the sound server requested You must log in or register to reply here.
The sample rate determines the frequency range of the recording, while the bit depth controls the dynamic range. Read on to find out what settings you should use to get the best sound for your productions. The sample rate of a digital signal can be best compared with the amount of pixels in a digital photo. Much like digital images, digital sound is made up of extremely tiny pieces that are called pixels in photographs, and samples in sound. Sample rates are expressed in kilohertz kHz and as you may know, the standard sample rate for a CD is The number may look random but can actually be logically explained: to capture and record any highest frequency, the sample rate must be at least twice as high.
Since human hearing is theoretically capable of perceiving a 20 Hz to 20, Hz frequency range, the sample rate has to be at least 40 kHz.
The spare 4. So the sample rate tells us how many pieces a recording is made up of. The bit depth, other the other hand, tells us how many different pieces there are.
