Setting Format of New Waveform

Midi2Wav Recorder records audio data into destination file of Windows PCM (.WAV) format.

If you do not want to use the default settings, you must select the following parameters of destination wave file before you start recording.

Sample Rate

The Sample rate is the rate at which the computer saves measurements of the signal amplitude.

You can choose between the three sampling rates:

• 44.100 kHz (CD Quality)
• 22.050 kHz (FM Radio Quality)
• 11.025 kHz (Telephone Line Quality)

Channels

You can record in:

• mono (1 channel)
  or
• Stereo (2 channel).

Sampling Resolution

• The Sampling Resolution describes the number of bits used for each sample on each channel.

You can decide whether individual samples will be stored in:

• 8 bits (a single byte)
  or
• 16 bits (an entire word).

Warning

Using higher sampling rates, stereo or higher bit resolutions will result in higher quality sounds at the expense of requiring more disk memory.
