Basic knowledge about recording with the PC
The record function converts analog audio
signals ? records, tapes, sounds, speech ? into digital data, which can be saved on the PC and edited
with MAGIX Music Editor 3.
The device which is used to digitalize the audio signals is already built into most sound cards and aptly
called an analog-digital converter, often abbreviated with A-to-D, ATD or A/D. In order to record
sounds, the A/D converter takes samples of the sound to be digitalized at fixed intervals by measuring the
voltage level of the signal. The frequency of the sampling is called the sample rate and naturally lies within
the kHz frequency range
; several thousand times per second. The higher the sample rate, the more samples are recorded by the
A/D converter, thus making the sound conversion closer to the original.
The precision with which the A/D converter measures the voltage level of the analog signal is determined
by the sample resolution. The same principle applies here: The finer the resolution, the better and more
natural the digital conversion.
Audio
recordings in CD quality are recorded with a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and a resolution of 16 bits.
