Recording and reproducing sound is like making a picture or drawing with your voice.
When you speak into a microphone, your voice gets turned into tiny electrical signals that can be saved in a computer or other recording device. The recording device turns these signals into a digital code that can be stored and played back later on.
When you want to listen to the recording, the digital code is converted back into electrical signals by a speaker. The speaker vibrates back and forth very quickly, which makes the air around it vibrate and produce sound waves. These sound waves travel through the air and reach your ears, allowing you to hear the original sound that was recorded.
So, it’s like taking a picture of your voice and then using a special machine to turn that picture back into sound. Pretty cool, huh?
