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. |
