A musician is looking to digitise a song from their record collection and is trying to establish how much space the sound file will take up on a portable hard drive. For recording the sound file, they are looking to use a sampling rate of 44 kHz with each sample being 4 bytes, initially on a single channel (mono).i.How many bits are there in each sample?

Solution

Each sample is 4 bytes. Since 1 byte is equal to 8 bits, therefore, each sample will be 4 * 8 = 32 bits.
