Audio Bit Depth

In digital audio, bit depth describes the number of bits of information recorded for each sample. Bit depth directly corresponds to the resolution of each sample in a set of digital audio data. Common examples of bit depth include CD quality audio, which is recorded at 16 bits, and DVD-Audio, which can support up to 24-bit audio.

Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or depth:

    unless I can shake myself free of my dog, my flag,
    of my desk, my mind, I find life a bit of a drag.
    Not always, mind you. Usually I’m like my frying pan
    useful, graceful, sturdy and with no caper, no plan.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Narrowed-down by her early editors and anthologists, reduced to quaintness or spinsterish oddity by many of her commentators, sentimentalized, fallen-in-love with like some gnomic Garbo, still unread in the breadth and depth of her full range of work, she was, and is, a wonder to me when I try to imagine myself into that mind.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
