Linear recording systems


Post productive process Selecting, arranging and modifying sounds in an ordered sequence. Non-Compressed audio format such as 16bit 44.1KHz is considered linear in format. There are higher bit and sample rates.

Non-linear recording systems


Digital recording allows any parts of the recording to be replayed in any order without any gaps. The material can be played back in any order, the order that it has been recorded in does not matter. Compressed audio format such as MP3/AAC/MP4.

Advantages of linear
It means that the product is put together without the necessity of editing. Fairley inexpensive to manufacture

Disadvantages of linear
Large transformers required. High cost Difficult to design

Advantages of non-linear
Simple Cheap Editing is better

Disadvantages of non linear


Difficult to maintain and manipulate. They do not provide sequential access. takes up more memory as compared to linear data. Takes longer to complete.

ISDN
integrated service digital network
A way of sending voice, video or data over digital and normal telephone wires.

ISDN
What type of network do I need? What wireless networking standard do I use?

Delay lines
Form of computer memory Serial access
