How does the sample rate of a system relate to the frequency of audio it can capture? What is the name if the law that specifies the relationship between sample rate and audio frequency? |
Each cycle of the sound wave must be sampled twice. Nyquist theorem. |
|
|
How does the bit depth of a system relate to the dynamic range of audio it can capture? How can you estimate the dynamic range of a system? |
The higher the bit depth, the bigger the dynamic range. Bit depth * 6 = dynamic range |
|
|
