Sound Applications

• A key variable in sound capture is the “sampling” or “digitizing” rate

  • determines fidelity
  • determines file size
  • affects the speed of the hardware required for sampling and playback conversions

• CD-quality recording uses 44.1 kHz with at least 16-bit resolution in stereo, which re- quires 10.5 megabytes / minute for storage

• Good software allows the user to adjust the sampling rate over a wide range
