sampling rate (also called sampling frequency) is the number of samples taken in one second and is measured in hertz (Hz) (View Highlight)
sampling rate primarily determines the highest frequency that can be captured from the signal. This is also known as the Nyquist limit and is exactly half the sampling rate (View Highlight)
amplitude of a sound describes the sound pressure level at any given instant and is measured in decibels (dB) (View Highlight)
The bit depth of the sample determines with how much precision this amplitude value can be described (View Highlight)
