The technique of digital recording is whereby
the pressure of sound waves is sampled more
than 30,000 times a second and the values
converted by computer into precise numerical
values. These are recorded and, during
playback, are reconverted to sound waves.
This technique gives very high-quality
reproduction. The numerical values converted
by computer represent the original sound-wave
form exactly and are recorded on compact
disc. When this is played back by laser, the
exact values are retrieved.
