Digital Audio and Music

Digital audio is any type of sound, including voice, music, and sound effects, recorded and stored digitally as a series of 1s and 0s.

Digital music is a subcategory of digital audio that involves recording and storing music.

Digitizing Sound

A sound wave is sampled at predefined time intervals (sampling rate). The amplitude for each sample is stored as a binary number.

.aac

.m4pAdvanced Audio Coding

Apple compressed audio file format. A new compressed file format that is more efficient than MP3. Used with Apple’s iTunes music service.

.au Audio Audio file format used mostly on Unix and Apple operating systems.

.cda Compact Disc Audio

Used to store music on traditional music CDs using a storage technology different from typical computer files.

.mid MIDI File format containing MIDI commands to control keyboard synthesizers and other electronic instruments.

.mp3 MP3 A popular compressed audio file format used on file sharing networks and the Internet. Compresses .cda files by a factor of 10 - 14. http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/mp31.htm

.ra Real Audio Format designed for streaming audio over the Web.

.wav Waveform Audio Windows PC audio file format.

.wma Windows Media Audio

Microsoft Windows compressed audio file format. A new compressed file format that is more efficient than MP3 and provides the distributor with control over copying of the file. Used with most Internet music services other than Apple iTunes.

Page 15: Succeeding with Technology Chapter 6

Succeeding with Technology 4th ed > Digital Media for Work and Leisure >

MP3 File format compresses

PCM music files to less than 10 percent of their original size. With MP3 compression, you could fit 30 CDs’ worth of music (rather than only 3) into 1 GB of space.

Digital Music and Audio Storage Media

There are three primary forms of audio storage media: CDshard drivesflash memory

Page 18: Succeeding with Technology Chapter 6

Succeeding with Technology 4th ed > Digital Media for Work and Leisure >

Players

The first consideration in purchasing a player is the music formats that it supports.

The second consideration when selecting a player, after compatible formats, is storage capacity.

Players and Formats they Support

There are hundreds of portable digital music players on the market

Page 20: Succeeding with Technology Chapter 6

Evaluating Music Options Is it legal, and if not, is it worth the risk? How much does it cost? Do you have to be connected to the Internet to

listen? Do you own the music and, if so, can you play

it anywhere, anytime, on any device? Is it accessible at home, at work, in your car,

and walking about? Do you have control over the songs you hear

(on demand) or is the playlist dictated by a DJ? Can you listen to it with your friends?

Digital Graphics

Digital graphics refers to computer-based media applications that support creating, editing, and viewing 2D and 3D images and animation.

Page 25: Succeeding with Technology Chapter 6

Succeeding with Technology 4th ed > Digital Media for Work and Leisure >

Digitizing Graphics

Digital images are made up of a grid of small points called pixels (short for picture element).

Page 26: Succeeding with Technology Chapter 6

Succeeding with Technology 4th ed > Digital Media for Work and Leisure >

Digitizing Graphics

Colors for pixels are expressed using numbers that represent combinations of intensities of red, blue, and green, with one byte (256 levels of intensity) for each. Using three bytes provides 16,777,216 (224) possible colors.

How many bits does your PC use for color? Check your display properties. Demo tool: http://pic.fsu.edu/colormap.exe

Page 27: Succeeding with Technology Chapter 6

Succeeding with Technology 4th ed > Digital Media for Work and Leisure >

Graphics File Formats

Vector graphics files store geometric descriptions that define all the shapes in the image.

Bit-mapped graphics files store the color of each pixel in the image.

Page 28: Succeeding with Technology Chapter 6

Succeeding with Technology 4th ed > Digital Media for Work and Leisure >

Graphic File Formats There are many graphics file formats, most of

which are proprietary; that is, they depend on the software with which they were created.

3D Modeling Software 3D Modeling Software provides

graphics tools that allow artists to create pictures of realistic 3D models.Objects are created using a wire

framework.Surface textures are applied to the objects.Light source is defined.The scene is rendered – lighting, shapes,

and surfaces are calculated to create a 3D appearance on a 2D display.

3-D Modeling Software Producing 3D

digital art takes place in a scene on a 3D stage. The artist defines a light source, places objects on the stage, and renders the image to observe the effect.
