I REALLY NEED HELP THIS IS DUE IN AN HOUR

A person records a bird call as an analog wave. The sound is then stored on a computer as a digital signal. When a person wants to listen to the bird call, it needs to be converted back into an analog wave. What is an advantage of storing the bird call as a digital?

Answer:

In analog technology, a wave is recorded or used in its original form. In digital technology, the analog wave is sampled at some interval, and then turned into numbers that are stored in the digital device. On a CD, the sampling rate is 44,000 samples per second. An analog recording is considered unlimited. Therefore, it can move to a higher and higher resolution without losing its original quality.
