1. What are the 2 major types of audio files for computers and name at least one example of each type (this is sort of like the difference between bitmaps (.gif, .jpg) and vector (.wmf, .swf) graphics.) mp3 and wav
2. What is sampling, resolution and bit depth and why do we care?
Sampling is taking bits of music to use in another song. There is much controversey on whether or not is is copy right infringement.
Resolution and bit depth- the higher the resolution and bit depth, the better sounding the music, but the more room it takes up.

I use a microphone (built in or external) and the pre-installed recording application that comes with my computer.
