Question

Differentiate between analogue and digital recording.

Answer 1

	Analogue recording	Digital recording
1	The recording done by recording the vibrations analogous to the original vibration in air or medium.	The recording is done by converting the wave properties of the vibration in sequence of numbers.
2	It has an infinite resolution because the recording is continuous in time.	This form of recording has a finite sample rate that means it takes some parts of the original wave and leaves out the rest.
3	Cannot be directly processed by a computer.	Can be easily processed by computer.
4	The record degrades with time faster because of changes in the medium where the record is kept.	Recording being discrete numbers are more resistant to damages.
