Analog sound vs. digital sound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1451 words) |
 | An analog recording is one where the original sound signal is modulated onto another physical signal carried on some media or substrate such as the groove of a gramophone disc or the magnetic field of a magnetic tape. |
 | While it is subject to noise and imperfections in capturing the original sound, as long as the individual bits can be recovered, the nature of the physical medium is immaterial in recovery of the encoded information. |
 | A damaged digital medium, such as a scratched compact disc may also yield degraded reproduction of the original sound, due to the loss of some digital information in the damaged area (but not due directly to the physical damage of the disc). |

 | RCA-manager Steve Sholes was responsible for the birth of the Nashville Sound. |
 | In the early 1960s, the Nashville sound began to be challenged by the rival Bakersfield sound. |
 | Upon being asked what the Nashville Sound was, Chet Atkins would reach his hand into his pocket, shake the loose change around, and say "That's what it is. It's the sound of money". |
