How Sound Works In The Digital Domain
First actual post. Please correct me if any of this information is wrong. Sound works digitally by two main concepts. Signal Flow Sample Rate and Bit Depth Signal flow is how sound travels, be it from a mixing console to a PA system, or an audio interface going into a computer. Knowing the signal path of an audio setup can help when to troubleshoot issues - by pinpointing the source of where the problem may be, will definitely help in saving time and resources. Sample Rate & Bit Depth Sample Rate is the measurement of samples per second from a digital audio signal, to put it short. The sample rate determines the range of frequencies captured in digital audio (iZotope, 2019). The higher the sample rate, means there are more measurements per second of digital audio. 48kHz is standard for professional recording, in my case of field recording; I use 96kHz which allows me to record and edit sounds with more control over aliasing when either stretching or altering/pitching dow...
