Determine the length of the digital code when recording audio for 1 minute

Determine the length of the digital code when recording audio for 1 minute, if the sampling rate was 44.1 Hz, and the quantization bit was 8 bits.

Let’s translate the sounding time into seconds: 1 min = 60 s.

Then, when digitizing, the number of sample storage operations will be equal to:

60 * 44100 = 2646000.

With 8-bit quantization, the result of one operation occupies 1 byte in memory. Then the total amount of memory required for storage will be:

2,646,000 * 1 = 2,646,000 bytes.
