Setting sample rate for recording

Taupe.1's icon

Hey there I read through the help file for record I must be missing something I see how to set the file type to WAV (I'm assuming wave is wav lol)

I'm seeing how to set the bit depth

I can't find how to change the sample rate when recording in Max for making a WAV file. I figure the default is 44.1 ?

Thanks!

Open Audio Status and set sr

Ah and then all recorded tracks will be at that sample rate that I set in audio status ?

Bit depth is done within the record object right I think ?

Yes, the sample rate is global for the application: Max processes audio samples at the chosen sample rate. That includes writing files (sfrecord~) or writing in a buffer~: that's done at the sample rate.

Now, the choice of bit depth in another matter: Max uses floating point numbers for audio processing. But when you write a file, you have several options - they are chosen for the given [sfrecord~] object.
