The most common bit depths are 16, 24, and 32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The higher the number, the higher the quality, and the more the recording is able to accurately capture a noise with substantial difference in volume from its quietest parts to its loudest parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason bit depth is much more important for musicians than it is to podcasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With spoken word podcast content there is no need to record any higher than 16 bit. Using 24 or 32 will only increase the size of your source material WAV files, and any improvement in quality will be inaudible to all but the most trained&nbsp; ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deeper Dive: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/editing-production\/how-to-convert-wav-to-mp3\/\" data-lasso-id=\"6079\">How to Convert a WAV to an MP3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tph-adrotate-shortcode-wrap\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-about-bit-rates\">What About Bit Rates?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another load of numbers you might come across are bit rates, you&#8217;ll see these as 96kbps, 128kbps etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These aren&#8217;t directly relevant to sample rates and bit depth, so don&#8217;t worry.
