Elements of Multimedia: Audio Technician Quiz

Study Notes

Audio in Multimedia

Audio in multimedia is recorded using microphones or audio input devices.
Two basic types of sound are analog audio and digital audio.

Digital vs. Analog Audio

Digital audio captures sound by sampling sound waves at discrete intervals, while analog audio captures continuous sound waves.
Quality and size of digital audio recordings are determined by bit depth and sampling rate.
Higher bit depth and sampling rates lead to better audio quality and larger file sizes.

Digital Recording Devices

Digital recording devices capture sound by converting analog signals into digital formats.
They use an analog-to-digital converter to sample sound waves for digital representation.

Original Sound Signal

The term original sound signal refers to the analog audio before it is processed into a digital format.

Role of Audio Technicians

Audio technicians are responsible for managing sound mixing, editing, and enhancing audio quality in multimedia projects.
