How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the Sample Rate in Hertz (Hz). Common sample rates include:
- 44100 Hz (CD quality)
- 48000 Hz (professional audio)
- 32000 Hz (high-resolution audio)
- Enter the Total Samples - this is the number of audio samples in your recording or file.
- Click the Calculate button to convert samples to seconds.
- The calculator will display the result in both seconds (with high precision) and milliseconds.
Understanding the Formula
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Time (seconds) = Total Samples ÷ Sample Rate (Hz)
For example, if you have 441000 samples at a sample rate of 44100 Hz, the audio will be 10 seconds long (441000 ÷ 44100 = 10).
Common Applications
- Measuring the duration of audio recordings
- Editing audio files to precise time points
- Calculating processing time for audio samples
- Converting between different audio formats
