● Shows different Kbps ● Bit rates explained ● Digital Audio Explained
activity is to show the limitations of digital information, that being that data will be lost in the conversion from analog. This will be accentuated by using different audio fles that have more or fewer samples. More samples will be a closer representation to the analog signal, fewer samples will have more data loss and sound worse.
