Frequently Asked Questions
What is WAV format?
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio format that stores raw PCM audio data. It provides perfect quality but results in large file sizes.
What bit depth should I choose?
16-bit is standard for CD quality audio. 24-bit offers more dynamic range for professional work. 32-bit is used for high-end production but creates very large files.
Why are WAV files so large?
WAV files are uncompressed, storing raw audio data without any compression. This preserves perfect quality but results in files 5-10x larger than compressed formats.
Can I use WAV for music listening?
Yes, but compressed formats like MP3 or AAC are more practical for casual listening. WAV is best for editing and production where perfect quality is needed.
What sample rate should I use?
44.1 kHz is CD quality and sufficient for most uses. 48 kHz is professional standard. Higher rates like 96 kHz are only needed for specialized applications.
