Sound Representation Flashcards

The process of recording the amplitude of a sound wave at regular intervals.

The number of samples taken per second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

The number of bits used to store each sample, affecting sound quality and file size.

The length of the sound recording, measured in seconds.

File size = sample rate × duration (s) × bit depth.

Improves sound quality but increases file size.

Improves sound quality by allowing more precise values but increases file size.

Reduces file size by removing or encoding data, can be lossy or lossless.

Removes some data permanently, reducing quality but significantly decreasing file size.

Preserves all data, maintaining original quality while reducing file size.
