Quality of sound is dependent on the following criteria: sample rate, sample size, channels, codecs. Q: what is the disadvantage of taking lots of samples per wave. Quality of digital recording sample size: sample size (aka bit depth) the bit depth of that measurement/value (how many bits are representing that value, ex.
