What is the sampling rate (sample frequency)? Part 2
Differences in sound quality and how to check! It also explains the settings that need to be taken into account!

How to check the sampling rate?
The most orthodox method is probably the DAW setup screen.

I think it depends on the DAW, but I think there is a sample rate setting as well as an interface setting.
4. How should I actually set the sampling rate?
Just as the resolution of televisions increases, so do the sample rate settings.
As of March 2019, the sample rate setting in DTM is
48kHz = 48000Hz
96kHz = 96000Hz
It is common.
By the way, the CD has a lower setting of 44.1 kHz = 44100 Hz.

Points to consider
The higher the sample rate setting, the more PC specifications are required.
Also, the supported sample rates differ depending on the audio interface.
Please note that 96kHz is not supported by inexpensive (10,000 yen or less) audio interfaces.
5. Points to consider in addition to the sampling rate
Sampling rate Number of quantization bits Bit rate
Sample rate isn’t the only thing to consider when recording.
Points to note along with the sample rate That is the number of quantization bits (bit rate).
The number of quantization bits is a value indicating the number of steps to express when converting an analog signal to a digital signal.
The sample rate is the horizontal time axis and the number of quantization bits is the vertical depth.
As of March 2019, the setting for the number of quantization bits in the DAW is
24 bit
32 bit float
It is common.
resume
The sample rate is a frequency that indicates how accurately the sound is captured.
Of course, there are differences in sound quality depending on the rhythm, but beginners and those who do not trust the equipment will not notice the difference.
The sample rate will continue to increase, so there is no basic concept of vintage in audio interfaces. It may be better to get a new one as much as possible.
