I ll probably do the lossless transfer anyway though.
Equivalent bitrate of vinyl.
And the higher the bitrate the more accurately the signal is measured.
Yes a cd i.
The amplitude is the only information explicitly stored in the sample and it is typically stored.
The vinyl lp is a format based on technology that hasn t evolved much over the last six decades.
A pcm signal is a sequence of digital audio samples containing the data providing the necessary information to reconstruct the original analog signal each sample represents the amplitude of the signal at a specific point in time and the samples are uniformly spaced in time.
Cds and vinyl records are both audio storage and playback formats based on rotating discs from different times in music history the cd audio is digitally encoded and read by a laser while analog vinyl audio is physically read by a needle.
Digital superiority technically speaking cd is a generally superior medium.
When comparing bitrate or the amount of data transferred per second high resolution audio s bitrate 9 216 kbps is nearly seven times higher than that of cds 1 411 kbps and almost 29 times higher than that of mp3s 320 kbps.
I was a little uncertain because tape s quality is more suspect than vinyl or cd.
Right but when people do the digital transfers of vinyl there s still a standard more or less bitrate for digital conversion so i should have probably clarified.
There s very little compression so the loudest parts of those sounds often stand out like you d expect them to at a live performance.
Comparing compact discs cds to vinyl or gramophone records is the musical equivalent of comparing digital photography with film photography.
People who complain about the fact a digital recording is quantized don t understand signal processing.
Sonically vinyl has both.
The math has been done at to where they did say that vinyl records are the equivalent to 13 bit digital audio.
There are several reasons at least one of them valid.
That s why snare drums cymbal splashes and other loud instruments have so much more punch in vinyl recordings.
