Sound elements definition

Sound format:

Sound format is what type of format the sound is saved to when it gets uploaded or saved in a specific area. This will be a challenge if I do not have the correct format when saving my sound as the quality and started will not be as high as expected. I will ensure that I have analysed what the best format is and take this into consideration when recording my sound. 

Storage:

Storage is where you will place, save and store files and different media types in certain areas where needed/required. This also has limits of maximum exceeded amount that can go into files. I will ensure when exporting the sound that I have stored it in the correct place. I will need to bare this aspect in mind when recording my sound. This is because I would like the sound saved all in one place and sector where it is easily accessible. 

Compressions:

Compressions is used when a file is too large and needs to be decreased and reduced to a certain amount. I will then need to consider then when recording  in order to acknowledge whether I will need to compress my files or not. As if my file is very long which takes a lot of storage, then it will most likely need to be compressed.

Size versus quality:

There are four sectors that are relevant and linked to the understanding of size versus quality:

1. Lossy - Lossy is where certain things get deleted as well as quality and clearly quantity. This is due to having lossy quality compressing files which lead to the results of these. 
2. lossless - This is the same as lossy however nothing gets deleted or discarded when having to get compressed.  
3. Bit rates - Bit rates is the percentage of how much data is being put through and processed every second to minute. 
4. File size - There may be several files however, file size calculates how much content is on the file which can be on any device or source of equipment/gadget.
