Bring Back Transfat!
When presented with a frequency responce range, I understand what's being referenced: 20-20,000Hz/Low to high frequency.
But when I read about a sampling rate I'm lost. "44.1 kHz" or "96kHz" doesn't say anything to me. Can somebody explain? I've got Paul White's Basic Digital Recording but while it uses these terms, it doesn't really define them for me.
Also, I know that dB is a unit of sound refering to volume, but again, when expressed as a "dynamic range" I don't get it. How can a unit with a negative component (-6dB for example) have a positive function. I would have thought that -6dB would be measurement of silence! Help me out!
