Before we get to the heart of the matter, it must be understood that the phenomena that surround us and which our ears perceive are all analogous.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.technodabbler.com\/content\/images\/2014\/May\/Analog-vs-Digital.png\" alt=\"Analog vs Digital \" width=\"666\" height=\"376\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In a concert, for example, the sound produced by the artist&#8217;s instrument, the audience&#8217;s applause, or the spectator&#8217;s whisper is all analogous: they are continuous, that is, they give value to another without interruption and this continuously.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as we want to reproduce these sounds using a recording, we have two solutions: either the signal is recorded continuously and analogously to the source, or we only record certain signal information in the Conversion of a list of predefined values. The first is said to be analog, the second is digital.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_dancer_the_light_and_the_strobe\"><\/span><strong>The dancer, the light and the strobe.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A good image that is often used to differentiate analog from digital audio is that of the dancer, the light and the strobe.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine one dancer performing their choreography under a &#8220;normal&#8221; diffused light, and another performing the same dance but under a strobe light.<\/p>\n<p>The first dance will no doubt be considered fluid and continuous, while the second is seen as uneven.<\/p>\n<p>And the more you increase the speed of the strobe, the more you&#8217;ll be able to perceive the choreography fine. This is exactly what happens to digital audio: the higher the sample rate and resolution, the more faithful the audio reproduction will be.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SIGNAL_PROCESSING\"><\/span>SIGNAL PROCESSING<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The analog signal varies continuously with time. Therefore, it consists of continuous variations in air pressure, and our ear, more precisely the eardrum, perceives these variations, which our brain in turn interprets as sound. How good is nature!<\/p>\n<p>The analog signal which can take an infinite number of values \u200b\u200bis traditionally represented as a continuous and sinusoidal curve.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, the digital signal is discontinuous and limited to a number of predefined values \u200b\u200bat precise times.

Sampling frequency, expressed in kHz, represents the number of samples taken per day.
