And it is that unless you are an expert in digital sound, the process to choose the audio format that best suits your needs can be a mess. But if they explain it to you, the topic is relatively simple. That is why at Culturasonora we have prepared a complete guide for you on the different audio formats most used.

To understand how audio formats work you need to know what Bit Depth and Sample Rate are. These are two measures that indicate the quality of a digital audio file. We are going to try to summarize it so that you keep the general idea<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"samplerate\"><\/span>\nsamplerate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you read the specifications of the audio formats you come across a couple of figures. For example: 32-bit \/ 192kHz or 24-bit \/ 96kHz. These numbers indicate the bit depth and the sample rate. These references tell us how much information the different formats transmit and the quality of the sound. For example, the audio we hear on a regular CD, or on a Spotify stream, is 16bit \/ 44.1kHz. Samples are always measured in Hertz (or hertz) and bit depth in Bits.<\/p>\n<p>Softwares or hardwares usually do not work with a continuous flow of information, but usually use pieces, samples or samples to effectively manage the data that is transmitted. The sample rate is the number of samples per second that are obtained from a recording. The higher the number of times a device plays samples, the higher the sound quality. Each of these extracts or samples has a certain amount of information, which is the bit depth, or bit depth.<\/p>\n<p>So that you understand it better we are going to make a somewhat beastly analogy, which is not entirely true, but that will help you get the sense of all this. Which is what interests us. If you control a bit of photography and image you will get it right away: the sample rate would be something similar to the frames or frames per second of a video, and the bit rate would be similar to the pixels of a photograph. The higher the bit depth number, the more information each sample will have. The more pixels an image has, the higher resolution each frame of a video will have. The more frames per second a movie has, the better definition. In short: the higher the number of the Bit Depth and the Sample Rate, the higher the quality of the audio file.

Why? Because basically an MP3 is a file that sacrifices audio quality to minimize size. They weigh very little for any device to read. The negative? Compressing these files provides poor, almost lifeless sound. Today, hardly anyone uses this format seriously. Even its creators recently ended the license by declaring it dead. But surely from time to time you come across a zombie file with this format.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_WAV_format\"><\/span>What is WAV format?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>WAVs (Waveform Audio File Format) are just as common but better for anyone who wants a decent audio format. They are higher resolution files than MP3s. A WAV is an audio piece that is encoded with something known as Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), a medium that encodes analog audio pieces and converts them to digital so they can have the Sample rate and Bit Depth of the that we have already talked about previously.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_AIFF_format\"><\/span>What is the AIFF format?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) audio format is very similar to WAV in that it also uses PCM to encode analog audio pieces and present them in digital format. This format was born as a response from Apple to Microsoft&#8217;s WAV, and at the beginning it could only work on MAC computers. Currently AIFF and WAV are more or less interchangeable.<br \/>\nIn summary\u2026<br \/>\nTo close this topic, we will tell you that if you have a file in WAV or AIFF audio formats, you will hear a piece of sound of good quality. Normally these formats are used in files that we reproduce through our services, such as the iTunes music library. We will not see them in online streaming services, which tend to use special types of files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; FLAC, WAV, AIFF, DSD &#8230; these are just some of the initials that you can find when you are looking for a digital format.
