What must analogue sound waves be converted into for digital storage?
Binary
View source
How is the amplitude of an analogue sound wave recorded?
It is measured and recorded in
binary
View source
What does ADC stand for in sound recording?
Analog to Digital Converter
View source
How does digital sampling differ from analogue waves?
Digital sampling is
discrete
, not
continuous
View source
What is the purpose of taking many samples of an analogue wave?
To recreate the analogue wave closely
View source
What is the sample rate measured in?
Kilohertz
(kHz)
View source
What is the sample rate for CD quality audio?
44.1 kHz
View source
How does a higher sample rate affect audio quality?
It improves audio quality significantly
View source
What is the consequence of a low sample rate?
It results in
low-quality
sound
View source
What does bit depth refer to?
The number of
bits
per sample
View source
What is a common bit depth used in audio samples?
16 bits
View source
How does a higher bit depth affect audio quality?
It allows for higher quality
sound
View source
What happens to file size with a higher bit depth?
File
size
increases
due to
more
bits
View source
What is the formula for calculating file size?
File size =
sample rate
x
bit depth
x duration
View source
If an audio sample has a bit depth of 4 and a sample rate of 10, what is the bit rate?
40
bits per second
View source
How many bits are in a 15-second audio clip with a bit depth of 4 and a sample rate of 10?
600
bits
View source
How do you convert bits to bytes?
Divide
by
8
View source
What is the file size in bytes for 600 bits?
75
bytes
View source
What are the effects of increasing the sample rate on an audio file?
Higher
audio quality
Larger
file size
View source
What are the effects of increasing the bit depth on an audio file?
Higher
