I'm getting tired of writing "24-bit audio at 96 kHz sample rate" and
such. We all know what "24/96" means in this contenxt, but I'd like to
put something else together with it.
"24/96 Bitskilohertz" doesn't quite make it. Is there already a word
for what I want? If not, let's create one.
When I've written 3,000 words and the editor wants 2500, every little
word reduction counts.
Mike,
Given all the delivery formats for our IVR we've been standardizing
on the following labeling:
SampleRate-BitDepth_Codec:bitrate
eg:
44-16_PCM
16-16_uLaw
44-16_mp3:128k
96-24_PCM
you get the idea.

Well, we've had divided by, which was wrong, and now we have minus,
which is probably even worse.
Come on chaps THEY MULTIPLY.

That would perhaps make more sense (e.g. 24x44.1), but the "/" notation
has been used "de facto" to the point it is quite familiar. By the way,
the hyphen and the slash have meanings other than as mathematical
symbols.

Not when you are putting them in numbers, they don't.
