a. Click the ‘Format’ dropdown in order to
select the sample rate and bit-depth for
your NT1 5th Gen input. We recommend
selecting 48kHz / 32-bit float.
NOTE: You can select up to 192kHz/32-
bit, but most computers (including Apple
MacBooks and most Windows laptops) have
integrated sound cards that can’t play back
sample rates higher than 96kHz (for modern
MacBook Pro laptops) or 48kHz. This means
that your audio will still be recorded at this
incredibly high sample rate into your DAW,
but you will not be able to monitor or play
back this audio via headphones plugged
into your device. We suggest recording
at a standard 48Khz, unless your project
specifically requires a higher sample rate.
