What is a bit? A bit is piece of information coded as a 1 or 0 (on or off) what is bit depth? Bit depth is the number of bits available for each sample. The higher the bit depth, the higher the quality of the audio. A bit depth of 16 has a resolution of 65,536 possible values and a bit depth of 24 has over 16 million possible values....
the sample rate = samples per second a sample is a measurement of aptitude The sample rate is how many measurements of the sound are taken each second. The more samples the more detail about where the waves rise and fall in recording. The Sample Rate is measured in Samples Per Second Every sample is a measurement of amplitude A common audio sample rate for music is 44,100 samples per second and the unit for the sample rate is hertz (Hz) So 44,100 samples per second is 44,100 hertz or 44....
