Well, if we are talking about today's modern recording devices, it works with AD/DA converters. That is Analog to Digital on the way in and Digital to analog on the way out for listening.

So, The converters take an analog signal and convert it to digital which turns into into 1's and 0's and stores it on a hard drive as 1's and 0's. It is actually an amazing process. I guess binary can sound incredibly beautiful at times!

Anyway, when we talk about 16bit or 24bit music, it just gives us 8 more bits to store all of our extra bytes and the more we have, the better the resolution and sound quality. The Frequency response, such as 44.1KHz or 48KHz also widens the spectrum of frequencies that we record with and the higher the number, the more resolution we have in terms of frequency response.

I hope this helps!

I think I have a good singing voice but when I recorded a song on my webcam it doesnt sound very good is this me or is it the webcam?

Most people DON'T want to hear this, but the way you sound on a recording, is the way youtruly sound =[ Now, different recording devises might sound a little different than others. For example, I notices a cell phone is way off, and a microphone is more like my voice. On a cell phone, you voice might be distorted during the process of recording. But also it is mainly the way you sound =D. Thing is, you hear yourself internally and externally, meaning you hear the vibrations from inside your body (like bones), resulting in you hearing your voice differently than others.
