Audio samples & time
Translate sample-frame counts and durations at a chosen sample rate.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Duration = sample frames / sample rate. In the reverse direction, rounds seconds × sample rate to the nearest whole sample frame and reports the resulting quantised time. A frame contains one sample per channel, so channel count does not change elapsed time.
