Tips for determining audio quality
Generally, it is quite straight forward to determine the properties you
should use for recording a waveform. The determining factors are the file
size and the type of speakers the audio will be played back over. For
example, if disk space is limited and the sound is intended for playing over
small computer speakers, then there is no need for CD quality sound.
Likewise, if you plan on playing your files over amplified speakers directly
from your hard disk, then you would want more than just telephone
quality. The chart on the next page offers you some ideas of the different
types of audio quality possible and how they affect file size.
