Introduction to the Studio Foundation Sound Recording Kits v.5 (Sp13)

Common audio le formats

A codec (Compressor/Decompressor) is a method of compressing (encoding) and decompressing (decoding)

audio that make it easier to store and play on a computer. There are many popular codecs in use, including:

AIFF WAV

AIFF (or AIF) and WAV (or Wave) are uncompressed le format suitable

for eld recording and editing.

These le formats are lossless: they don’t degrade the quality of the

audio signal in the encoding / decoding process, on the other hand, they

are very large compared to AAC and MP3 les.

Congure your recorder to record in the WAV format for best results.

AAC

AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) and MP3 (MPEG Layer 3) are compressed

le format suitable for distribution of audio due to their compact size.

These le formats are lossy: they degrade the quality of the audio signal in

the encoding / decoding process.

Avoid using these formats for your master recordings and editing.
