Why digital audio is better than analog audio? Well let me see here digital audio can be produced in just one easy step so can analog but, with analog you have to have a special tape player that has a recording feature and digital audio you just have to have a computer and a microphone which I find in this day in age very standard. Honestly there isn’t many tape players left around and the life span of a tape is way less then a digital audio file (.mp3). Now with digital audio there are so many pros to it then there are cons, for instance like Peter said he has a Mac and it has a built in microphone which makes it very convenient to the teachers or students using it. The life span of a digital audio file is endless it will always be able to be up-converted and reused over and over without wear and tare. Producing digital audio files are very easy let’s use Audacity (because it is free):
1. Go to http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
2. Click on download
3. Choose which operating system you are using in my case Intel MAC
4. Once download is complete, Install Audacity
5. Once Install is complete, Open Audacity
6. Go to File… New
7. If you have your mic set up (in my case built in) then you can just click the red circle and start recording.
8. Once you have recorded what you wanted to say, press the yellow stop button.
9. Next you have to save your file in this case we want to save it as an .mp3 file.
10. Name your file and where you want to save it and there you have it an .mp3 file is created.
Now as you can see with digital audio you can send this file anywhere you want with just the click of a button. E-Mail, Memory Stick, Blog, Websites or even just keep it on file for years to come.
