This depends on the usage of the word. Usually, it refers to either one of two things. 1) taking a short segment of a sound or song such as a single drum beat or a short piano riff and saving it as a new audio file. This is usually used in "mashups" and sound collages or as triggers in live performances. 2) the frequency at which data is taken to describe a sound wave. You can think of this as plotting X and Y coordinates on a graph to describe a sound wave which a computer can translate into speaker movement and finally sound. The higher the sample rate, the higher quality the audio.

What is sampling rate in audio digitization?

Sampling rate or sampling frequency defines the number of samples per second (or per other unit) taken from a continuous signal to make a discrete or digital signal.

What is the relation between sampling rate and bit depth?

Sampling rate and bit depth are two key parameters in digital audio that affect sound quality. The sampling rate refers to how many times per second an audio signal is sampled, determining the frequency range that can be accurately captured. Bit depth, on the other hand, defines the number of bits used to represent each sample, influencing the dynamic range and detail of the audio. Higher sampling rates and bit depths generally lead to better audio fidelity, but they also result in larger file sizes.


Sampling?

The act of taking a pre-recorded piece of audio and using it in a new and different musical composition in various ways.


Why PCM sampling time at 125 m sec?

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) sampling time of 125 microseconds is typically associated with a sampling rate of 8,000 samples per second. This rate is sufficient for capturing audio signals within the frequency range of human hearing, which is generally up to 20 kHz, in accordance with the Nyquist theorem. By sampling at this rate, the system effectively captures the necessary signal details while minimizing aliasing and ensuring good audio quality.


Is lightning audio any good?

Lightning audio (I presume an MP3, WAV or FLAC), is very good if the audio sampling is high enough quality and the audio output (being Speakers or Headphones) are high enough quality, it could sound like lightning just struck beside you.


How can the file size of an audio clip be calculated?

If you know the bits per second of the audio clip, then simply multiply that by the length of the audio clip. If you do not know the bits per second, and the file is uncompressed, then you will have to take the sampling frequency (generally 44.1KHz), multiply it by the size of each sample, multiply by the number of channels and then finally multiply by the length of the audio clip. For example, a 1 second wav file with the default attributes of a 44.1KHz sampling frequency, 16 bit samples and 2 audio channels (stereo) will be 44100 * 16 * 2 * 1 = ~1.4 megabits = ~176 KB = ~172 KiB


What are the various kind of sampling?

They include: Simple random sampling, Systematic sampling, Stratified sampling, Quota sampling, and Cluster sampling.


How does sampling rate relate to the size of mp3 files?

The sampling rate affects the audio quality.For instance,a song sampled at 192 kilobits per second is three times the size of a song sampled at 64 kilobits per second and will be of better sound quality.


Why do you need sampling of signal?

Sampling of a signal is essential because it allows continuous signals to be converted into a discrete form that can be analyzed and processed by digital systems. By sampling, we can capture and represent the important features of the signal while reducing the amount of data needed for storage and transmission. This process is fundamental in various applications, such as digital audio, video processing, and telecommunications, where efficient data handling is crucial. Proper sampling ensures that the original signal can be accurately reconstructed later, adhering to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem.
