Hi,
I am trying to get a grasp on the effects of downsampling audio. (And how to spot this in the spectrum for example) Specifically relating to what is sold commercially as CD quality. I guess it might fall into 3 camps
1) Downsampling same bit depth to a lower sampling rate. ex 48K to 44.1K
2) Downsampling a higher bit depth to a lower bit depth ex) 24 bit to 16 bit
3) Downsampling using a combination of #1 and #2
Any pointers to "good reading" or video would be appreciated. And again my root reason for looking into this is to understand and be able to spot poor/good quality commercially sold "CD Quality" audio content. Thanks
