How to Digitize Audio for playback through a computer. Dispelling the Myths about Digital Audio There's a mystique about digital audio that makes people think that you need a fully equipped studio, skilled technicians or engineers and a vast investment in hardware/software to create it. That's patently untrue. If you can play a sound through your computer, you can digitize it and if you can hear it, you can play it through your computer. Another digital audio mystique is that it produces better sound. Not true either. Like the great pyramids of Egypt, digital sound is made up of blocks. From a distance a great pyramid looks like a smooth triangle and to the human ear, digital sounds are a smooth transition from one tone to another.
To date, the best sound media is still a record played on a quality turntable. Digital sound on CD's uses a process called over-sampling to smooth the transition from byte to byte by fooling your ears but analog sound is much truer to the physics of sound than is digital.
