2. Analogue is the name for an electronic signal that carries information of

sound as continuous fluctuating voltage value. It has an unlimited
bandwidth which means it can be moved to higher resolutions without
compromising audio quality. Example of this is audio tape recordings.
Whereas, digital is the representation of analogue sound, transformed
through digitization, and stored in the form of sample points.

3. MIDI is a file format for representing electronic music created with a

MIDI device (such as a synthesizer or electronic keyboard). This format
contains instructions for playing music, but unlike digital audio, it does
not record the waveform itself.
