What indicators to choose
So, let's start in order. What bitrate to choose? Initially, it is worth telling what bitrate is. This value measures the speed of the information flow. In simple words, it affects music like this: the higher the bitrate, the better the playback quality, the lower the worse. However, setting the indicator too high is also unnecessary, since, for example, for the MP3 format, the generally accepted value is 128 kbps, if this value increases, you will not notice any significant difference.
As for the recording frequency, everything is simple here, put a maximum mark, if you want the sound to be the best, but know that this indicator also directly depends on the recording quality of the microphone itself.
Recorders you can find in the familiar settings "Record" on the tab "Sound". In the drop-down list, select the microphone that you want to use for recording.
