I have a large music library, using Media Monkey for listening, ripping CDs to hard drive, burning CDs, etc. When ripping CDs, Media Monkey allows for various formats. Because my output is to a high quality audio system; I used to rip to WAV, now to FLAC ---- never to MP3.
In ripping CDs, another option is sampling rate: 44.1 kHz, 48kHz and even greater. Because the origin has usually been CD, I’ve chosen the “native” 44.1 kHz.
I recently read in the Premier Elements manual and Steve’s book that 48kHz is the standard for audio in a video. I am practicing on my first project and wish to add some background music, which is already on my hard drive in WAV or FLAC, at the 44.1 kHz sampling rate. For practice, I added a WAV/44.1 audio and it seemed ok (but I was listening on my computer speakers, not the good audio system).
I can go back and re-rip a CD to 48kHz if intending to incorporate the music in a video project.
What would you recommend?
Thank you.
