Sampling Resolution

 
Sampling Resolution:
🔴The number of bits used to carry the data in each samples of sound usually, 8
or 16 bits
🔴Decreasing sound sample resolution results in lower quality
🔴It can reduce file size and save storage space
🔴Sampling resolution is the number of bits per sound sample
🔴Sampling resolution is the maximum accuracy of each measurement taken of a wave form when creating an audio file
🔴The higher the sampling resolution the more accurately the wave form will be converted from analogue to digital
🔴The higher the sampling resolution the greater the size of the file
🔴Digital audio is normally found in 8 bit or 16 bit resolutions

🔴16-bit resolution is the standard for compact disc audio and newer sound
cards
🔴Each sample can take one of 65 536 different values «
« more than any human can readily discern
🔴These values are all per channel
🔴For stereo audio two channels are needed
🔴This doubles the sampling and memory requirements
🔴The higher the sample resolution, the more accurate the representation of the
level of each sample but more memory is required to store each sample
