| it is the sample frequency that matters, not the signal frequency.
How is this different from my point about "resolution" back at the
beginning of this?
Fact is, at any given sampling frequency, storage capacity is constant
regardless of what is being recorded. By way of practical example, MD-74
stores 74 minutes of audio, whether that is total silence, the loudest
heavy metal, a "perfect" sine wave, square wave, sawtooth, or anything else
you care to record. If the resolution of the recording were to be
increased to 24 bits, the capacity of the disc would be proportinally
reduced.
Saying that digital recordings require more space than analog is just plain
wrong. The two are totally different. Comparing the two is like comparing
a really nice cheese omlette and a Shelby Cobra GT350.
