digital audio processing

Digital audio processing involves converting sound waves into digital data, allowing computers to manipulate, enhance, and analyze audio signals. This process begins with sampling, where the analog sound is measured at regular intervals, and quantization, which assigns these measurements numerical values. Once in digital form, various techniques can adjust volume, reduce noise, apply effects, or improve clarity. After processing, the digital data is converted back into sound waves for playback. This technology enables high-quality sound editing, streaming, recording, and production across countless applications.
