Fundamentals of Digital Audio Episode 1

Check out the first episode of the Fundamentals of Digital Audio podcast where we cover theory, equipment recording, editing and distribution of spoken word audio. In this first episode I introduce the podcast explaining the origin, format and topics for the podcast. Then I move on to provide enough basic theory to help you understand the terminology used in digital audio including: sound, cycles, frequency, pitch, amplitude, analog to digital conversion, sample rate and bit rate.

Music featured from the Podsafe Music Network: Larry Seyer - Conscious Restraint.

What is most important?

Hello

I was wondering where you should spend most of your money when getting in on the ground level of recording? Photographers always say "spend your money on the lens, then the body". Is there a similar adage when buying recording equipment?

I have not bought anything yet - this is a new interest of mine. I have a lot to learn and your podcast is a fantastic resource! I look forward to every episode.

Thanks!
