Bit depth in audio refers to the number of bits used to represent the amplitude of each sample in a digital audio file. In other words, it determines the resolution of the audio signal.The bit depth is usually expressed in bits per sample, and common values are 16 bits, 24 bits, and 32 bits. The higher the bit depth, the greater the dynamic range of the audio signal and the more accurately it can be represented.
For example, with a bit depth of 16 bits, the audio signal can be represented by 65,536 discrete amplitude levels, while with a bit depth of 24 bits, the audio signal can be represented by 16,777,216 discrete amplitude levels.
Having a higher bit depth can lead to a higher signal-to-noise ratio and less distortion in the audio signal.
Sample rate, also known as sampling rate, is another important parameter that describes digital audio. It refers to the number of samples of an analog audio signal that are taken per second to create a digital representation of the signal.
The sample rate is usually expressed in Hertz (Hz), and common values are 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz. The higher the sample rate, the more accurately the digital representation can capture the nuances of the original analog signal.
For example, a sample rate of 44.1 kHz means that the analog audio signal is sampled 44,100 times per second, while a sample rate of 96 kHz means that the analog audio signal is sampled 96,000 times per second.
A higher sample rate can provide a greater frequency response and better fidelity to the original sound
Headroom in audio refers to the amount of available space between the maximum level of the audio signal and the maximum level that a system can handle without distortion or clipping.

Henri Hurtig, also known by his stage name Cid Inc, is a highly respected figure in the electronic music scene with over two decades of experience in music production, audio engineering, mastering, and mixing. He has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the underground club music industry. His exceptional work has earned him a reputation as one of the top mixing and mastering engineers in the business.
Henri has been mastering our own personal music for over a decade at least now, so when we started our label meanwhile in 2020 of course there was only one person we looked to for delivering flawless consistent masters!
Every time we deliver to Henri we know we will get the best outcome and he is a core part of our labels growth with that special finishing touch!
We would recommend Cid Inc mastering to anyone looking for a polished and professional master to give your release the best outcome!
GMJ & Matter (Meanwhile Recordings)
We are always happy with this amazing mixing and masters!
I’m a big fan of his work and my Jannowitz & Jaw Dropping Rec. Label artists also! Big up !
Henri is a great professional, and when people ask me “Where do I get my mastering done?” I always answer: “You should do it in Cid Inc Mastering”
Henri [CID INC] is my choice mixing and mastering engineers. Over the past years he has become ‘top guy’ for all of the projects that i release. I recommend him to all of my artists with great confidence and they have been extremely satisfied with the finished product. Our labels -102C and DEEPWIBE UNDERGROUND only choice.
