What+is+sampling?

Introduction
Before we can edit audio on a computer, the audio signal must first be captured digitally. This process is know as sampling.



The quality of the sample is determined by 2 factors:

1. The sample rate. This refers to the number of samples taken per second. Increasing the number of samples means that the sample will sound closer to the actual audio.

2. The sample depth This refers to the amount of the computer's memory we use to store each sample. The greater the sample depth, the greater the audio quality
