Analogue to Digital Sound Conversion

An analogue sound wave is converted into a binary sample by measuring the amplitude of the wave at specific intervals and recording these measurements in binary format.

Increasing the sample rate leads to higher audio quality and larger file sizes due to more data being captured for each sample.

Increasing the bit depth results in higher audio quality and larger file sizes, as more bits are available to represent each sample.

The number of times per second that the amplitude of an analog sound wave is measured during digital conversion. It determines how closely the digital representation resembles the original analog wave.

The number of bits used to represent the amplitude of each sample in a digital sound recording. It determines the dynamic range and overall detail of the audio.

The process of converting analog sound waves into digital data by measuring the amplitude of the wave at regular intervals.

Increasing the sample rate results in a more accurate digital representation of the original analog sound wave, leading to higher fidelity audio and larger file sizes.

Increasing the bit depth allows for a wider range of possible values for each sample, resulting in a greater dynamic range and improved sound quality but also leads to larger file sizes.

A measure of the difference between the loudest and quietest sounds that can be represented. A higher bit depth allows for a wider range of sounds.

A measure of the quality of audio. Higher fidelity means more accurate representation of the original sound.

The size of a digital audio file is directly affected by both the sample rate and the bit depth. Higher values for both result in larger file sizes due to increased data storage.
