In this module, we will delve into the fundamental aspects of audio science. You will learn about different audio file formats, the principles of sound waves and air pressure, sample rates and their impact on audio quality, bit depth and loudness resolution, and the comparison between video and audio.  ## Objectives By the end of this module, you will be able to: - Identify and describe various audio file formats and their uses. - Explain how sound waves interact with air pressure to produce audio. - Understand the significance of sample rates in audio recording and playback. - Discuss the role of bit depth in determining audio quality. - Compare and contrast the characteristics of video and audio media. ## Module Navigation #### Acoustics - Audio Basics - [[Audio Files]] - [[Audio and Air Pressure]] - [[Sample Rate - Frequency Resolution]] - [[Bit Depth - Loudness Resolution]] - [[Comparison Between Video and Audio]] - [[Transients and Cutting]] - [[05.
