Audio vs MIDI
In my previous post, we've talked about minimal PC specs that are required in computer based recording studio setup's. But, before we start exploring various types of Audio/MIDI interfaces and sound cards, I would like to briefly explain its basic terminology and definitions.
Audio is an electrical or other representation of sound within human audible range of frequencies (20Hz to 20.000Hz). Audio can be represented in Analog or Digital form.
Analog (traditional) audio is a representation of a sound that is analogous to the air pressure waves of the sound. In Analog audio recording, audio signal is converted into electrical energy and stored on a media (vinyl or magnetic tape) by copying down wave patterns of the sound.
