Analogue and Digital

Analogue or digital — which is better? In this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby teach you about the differences between analogue and digital recording technologies! In this educational, animated movie you’ll discover the difference between records and CDs and why some people think analogue is better. Find out how older, analogue recording techniques are based on electromagnetism, and how the music recorded on them is stored as representations of an electrical current. You’ll also discover how digital information is converted and sampled, then stored as bits — long strings of ones and zeroes. Plus, you’ll get to see how sound from your larynx can be recorded! So watch this movie and decide for yourself whether you prefer analogue or digital!
