3. Common Audio Sample Rates - Digital Audio Fundamentals

In this video, we take what we learnt from the previous video on the Nyquist Shannon Sampling Theorem and apply it to real world audio signals. We discover some of the commonly used sample rates used in audio consumption and transmission and the advantages and disadvantages of using them. We look at the difference between bandwidth in the context of signal and the context of transmission, and discuss why lower rates are ideal for consumption, and higher rates are only required during signal processing.
