What is Audio Sample Size?

Audio sample size refers to the amount of data used to represent a single sample in a digital audio recording. It is determined by the bit depth and the number of channels in the audio. The bit depth indicates how many bits are used to represent each sample, while the number of channels indicates how many separate audio signals are being recorded (e.g., stereo has 2 channels). The sample size is crucial for determining the quality and file size of the audio recording. Higher bit depths and more channels result in higher audio quality but also larger file sizes.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ S = 2 \times 16 = 32 \text{ bits} \]

The Audio Sample Size is 32 bits.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ S = 1 \times 24 = 24 \text{ bits} \]

The Audio Sample Size is 24 bits.
