two waveforms look identical? Wouldn't they look like exactly the same sound? On analogue gear, wouldn't it be the case that the exact shape of the waveforms would be more accurately represented (e.g. a sawtooth and a squarewave at 22050 would look like such)?
on analogue gear you have no samplerate at all. its continous.
Yeh, 22050 was referring to the frequency of the wave. I guess my point is that when the come out of the speaker, there is often going to be some difference between something generated from an analogue source and something generated from a digital source, depending on many complicating factors like the cables used, rise/fall time of the TTL chips, etc. Then it comes down to whether or not we can hear that difference.
