Storage Considerations with Aliada

Understand how sample rates and bit depth affect your audio files and Aliada storage. Learn about file sizes, quality trade-offs, and optimal settings for different project types. Maximize your storage efficiency without compromising sound quality. Make informed decisions for your music production workflow.

• Sample rate: Represents how many samples per second a sound wave is measured, with a higher sample rate capturing more detail. Examples: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, etc.
• Bit depth: Represents the number of bits of information recorded for each sample of audio. Higher bit depths provide more dynamic range, allowing for more precise representation of the audio's quiet and loud parts. Examples: 16-bit, 24-bit, etc.
• Storage impact: Higher sample rates or bit depths lead to larger file sizes due to the increased number of data points. All data here is for lossless audio files, as is commonly used in professional audio.
• Lossy compression: Lossy compression reduces the file size of audio files. Lossy compression is commonly used in lossy audio formats like MP3, MP4, FLAC, and OGG. In professional audio, lossy compression is often used to reduce file size when delivering audio over the internet. Aliada works in a lossless fashion, meaning all audio is managed and delivered losslessly.
