What Is a Sample Rate?
The sample rate is how many times a second the sound is measured. 48 kHz is the common rate for video and streams.
The short answer
The sample rate sets how finely sound is captured. 48 kHz is the usual rate for video and streams. Keep your sources at the same rate to avoid problems.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Read the definition, then find the same word in Streamdzy: under Settings, in the scene, or on the Go live screen.
- Try it in a short test recording or a private stream, so the word means something you have seen.
- Read the feature page for it to see the settings, then set it up for your show.
- Check the pricing page for how use is counted. Every feature is free.
What to know first
Definitions are general; platforms and tools set their own limits and names, so check each platform’s guidance when a number matters to your show.
