Digital-Analog Conversion

  (Page 1 of 1)

Published on 03/31/2007 by Jamie Leger

The translation from your hard disk to an analog audio signal is very accurate. The modern recording studio edits and processes digital audio as a digital file from a hard disc, where the sound file is stored. To bounce a song or album to a CD, a digital to analog converter must translate digital audio back into an audio signal before it can be written to disc. Conversion from a digital audio file to CD, is resistant to errors (i.e. tape hiss, distortion, etc.) that converting to or from tape is prone to have. This makes audio conversion from hard disk the most practical method for producing an accurate translation. The conversion process is the same with whatever you are recording onto, (cd, tape, mini-disk) but the quality is dependant on that of the A/D/A converter.


Digital/Analog Conversion is simply the reverse process of Analog/Digital Conversion.
This conversion is explained in detail in our A/D converter section. (Jump to the Analog to Digital conversion section here)


In summary, the binary numbers of digital audio are translated back into an analog signal. A DAT machine, MO drive, sampler, compact disk and DVD recorder, all use-the same conversion process.
