LEARNING OUTCOMES
IN THE END OF THE LESSON, WE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO

1. DEFINE DIGITIZATION AND DIGITAL


AUDIO

2. EXPLAIN THE PROCESS OF


RECORDING AND PLAYING SOUND

3. IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENT FILE


TYPES OF DIGITAL AUDIO.

4. DEVELOP A LOVE FOR MUSIC AND


CULTURE

The CASSETTE PLAYER was a

NOWADAYS,

recording and listening to


music have been made so
easy Companies can easily
record sound in studios,
and release it easily
through CDs (compact
discs) or online.
WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNET OF
THINGS (IOT), A CAR, FOR EXAMPLE, HAS
ACCESS TO THE INTERNET AND PLAYS MUSIC
FROM THERE. ACCESS TO MUSIC HAS BEEN
MADE LIMITLESS.
Specialized computer applications have been
developed to facilitate streaming and
downloading of music at very minimal fees. In
seconds, one can already have music available
and play it back on computers or mobile
devices.
DIGITIZATION
Recording sound involves digitization Digitization is
when sound in an analog form (sound that we
continuously hear from a source) is converted into
digital form it transforms an analog form into codes
that the computer can understand so that it can be
easily played back.
DIGITIZATIO
N
starts with equipment like
microphones and amplifi ers,
which capture sound from an
analog source (e.g., a person
singing). The microphones
convert this sound into
electric and into the
amplifi er that makes the
current larger for better
quality.
