SOUND SAMPLING is performed by a small and cheap hardware device called a sampler and this simply converts the Analogue audio data into Digital data suitable for use by the computer. ANALOGUE data can vary n in t ly and is so not define in precise steps but as a voltage. DIGITAL data is represented by either ON or OF , HIGH and LOW in digital elect onics or 1 and 0 in computing. When strings of these 1s and 0s are strung together they can form numbers.
