As you can imagine, when we talk about digital formats in the field of sound, the range is wide. When choosing the one that best suits our needs we have to think about several issues. To do this, the first thing is to know the most used audio formats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CPA Online sound postproduction course We begin by clarifying the concepts of Bit Depth and the Sample Rate, fundamental to understand how audio formats work. These are two measures that indicate the quality of a digital audio file.<\/p>\n

When we read the specifications of the audio formats and we find, for example, 32-bit \/ 192kHz and 24-bit \/ 96kHz, these figures refer to the “bit depth” and the “sample rate” respectively. They tell us how much information the different formats transmit and the sound quality. The higher the number of times a device plays the samples, the higher the quality.<\/p>\n

Audio formats<\/h2>\n

MP3: these files weigh very little for any device to read. The negative part is that the quality of the compression pro is sacrificed.
\nCPA Online sound postproduction course<\/p>\n

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format): are higher resolution files than MP3s, a piece of audio that is encoded with what is known as Pulse Code Modulation (PCM). The analog audio pieces are encoded and converted into digital so that they can have the Sample rate and the Bit Depth.
\nAIFF (Audio Interchange File Format): It is very similar to WAV and also uses the PCM to encode analog audio parts and present them in digital format. In fact, the AIFF and WAV files are more or less interchangeable.
\nIn short, when we talk about a file in WAV or AIFF audio format we talk about a piece of sound of good quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
