Digital Audio Recommended Articles
From Audacity Wiki
| As well as our Wiki pages, there are many articles on the internet for further reading about digital audio. These range from beginners' guides on how sound is represented in a computer, to erudite research papers on digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms. This page lists some recommended sources.

[edit] Our Wikis
- The Digital Audio article in our online Manual is a quick entry-level primer about some basic terms essential to Audacity like sample rates and sample formats, clipping and file size compression. Jump to the Glossary for brief descriptions of a wider range of terms like frequency, wavelength or dynamic range, and about how MIDI differs from audio formats like WAV.
- For further reading, the Digital Audio Technology category on this Wikl has a small number of fairly easy articles expanding on specific topics such as Dither and Sample Rates. If you want to dig that bit further, click on any of the
links in the Glossary to read in-depth Wikipedia articles on each subject.
- If you're less interested in the theory and more interested in the practicalities of setting up a computer to record audio, we have pages such as "Connecting your Equipment" which explain the different kinds of audio connectors.

[edit] Other Sites
- Harmony Central has many user-oriented articles on mixing, mastering, effects and use of digital audio software. They also have a good intermediate level series of articles on effects including compression, reverb, noise gating and so on.
- Julius Orion Smith has an Index of technical pages offering a mathematical exposition of advanced digital audio subjects such as sampling theorem , aliasing and resampling .
