the audio digitiser
the same two cuts, now for sound: pick a sampling rate and a bit depth, see the staircase — and hear it. a wav file is exactly this list of numbers.
sound:
the analog wave
your digital version (sampled and quantized)
sampling rate (measurements per second)
bit depth (levels per measurement)
sampling slices time, bit depth slices loudness. what you throw away, you can hear.
digitised the naive way, without the smoothing filters real converters use — so you hear the cuts at their rawest. voice: ai-generated (openai tts-1).
