Digital recordings are often done at a depth of 16 bits, which breaks up the dynamic range between the loudest and quietest portions of a signal into 65,536 steps. We use the finer resolution of 24 bits, which divides the signals¡¯ loudest-to-softest dynamic range into 16,777,216 steps, allowing for far more accurate rendering of the quieter parts of the audio.
Audio signals change constantly, so a digital device must capture these
