A higher sample rate captures more audio detail, particularly at higher frequencies, but increases file size and CPU usage. Bit depth determines the resolution of each sample, affecting the dynamic range and noise floor of the recording. Bit depth impacts how precisely the amplitude of a signal is measured. Higher bit depths offer more dynamic range...
