Convert samples to milliseconds or milliseconds to samples at common audio sample rates, with support for any custom rate from 1 kHz to 768 kHz.
Both conversions use the selected sample rate. Channel count does not change the timing.
A sample rate states how many samples occur in one second. Divide the sample count by the sample rate to get seconds, then multiply by 1,000 for milliseconds. To convert in the other direction, multiply milliseconds by the sample rate and divide by 1,000.
milliseconds = samples ÷ sample rate × 1,000
Select the sample rate used by your audio interface, DAW session or file.
Enter a sample count to translate plugin latency, buffer size or phase offset into milliseconds.
Enter milliseconds to find the equivalent sample offset, then use the nearest whole sample when required.
At 48,000 samples per second, 512 samples last 10.666667 milliseconds. In reverse, 10 milliseconds at 48 kHz equals exactly 480 samples.
At 48 kHz, 512 samples is 10.666667 ms. At 44.1 kHz, the same 512 samples is about 11.609977 ms.
There are 48 samples per millisecond at 48 kHz and 44.1 samples per millisecond at 44.1 kHz.
No. Stereo doubles the number of stored sample values, but both channels play together, so the duration stays the same.
Physical sample positions are whole numbers. If a device or DAW requires an integer, use the displayed nearest whole-sample value.
