Abstract

Now that you have an understanding of the fundamental concepts; terms; and principles of digital imaging and how imagery becomes video, and which HD file formats that HTML5 and Android Studio support, it is time to get into one more important genre of new media that will need to be mastered for digital video production: Digital Audio. We will be looking at the concepts behind analog audio, as well as how it is digitized into digital audio, and the formats that can be used in your digital video projects and how to convert between them. Analog and digital waveform concepts will apply across both audio mediums as well as in the digital video realm, so this is an important chapter as great audio is key to great video; even though you can't actually visualize it with your eyes, the video just seems better with great sound.
