Sound
- Sampling rate is the number of samples taken per second from an audio signal. The sampling resolution, or bit depth, is the number of bits used for encoding each sample in memory.
- Sampling rate effects the range of frequencies taken from the recording. The sampling resolution, or bit depth, is the number of bits used for encoding each sample in memory. The bit depth also determines the quality of the sound. It is limited by the range of human hearing. The sample rate or bit depth directly correlates to the file size.
- Common uncompressed file formats are .mp3, .m4a, and .aac. .mp3 and .m4a
- Common compressed file formats are .wav and .aiff.
- .mp3 and .m4a also support Digital Rights Management (DRM).
