How do I convert ms to samples?

samples = (ms / 1000) x sample rate; e.g. 5 ms at 48 kHz is 240 samples.

Sample Delay Calculator

Convert between milliseconds, samples, and distance at a given sample rate.

Sample rate (Hz)

Delay (ms)

Or samples

Temperature (-C) for distance

How the sample delay calculator works

Convert between delay in milliseconds, sample count at your sample rate, and equivalent acoustic path length using temperature-dependent sound speed-useful for DAW sample delay and PA time alignment.

Key terms

Sample rate - conversions per second (e.g. 48 kHz).
Sample delay - integer samples of latency in digital paths.
Propagation delay - acoustic travel time ?t = distance / c.
