Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A digital audio workstation uses 24-bit depth and samples an audio wave. Calculate the number of possible amplitude levels and discuss what this means for audio quality.
💡 Hint: Use 2 raised to the power of the bit depth for calculations.
Discuss potential issues that may arise when using a lower bit depth in a recording intended for complex music. How might this affect mixing?
💡 Hint: Think about how dynamics in music are processed and represented.
