Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) is a file format for storing digital audio data. It supports a variety of bit resolutions, sample rates and channels of audio. The format has been embraced by the Apple platforms, but is also widely used in professional programs that process digital audio data.

In information technology, lossy compression is a data compression method which discards (loses) some of the data, in order to achieve its goal, with the result that decompressing the data yields content that is different from the original, though similar enough to be useful in some way.

I recorded a concert with 4 mics to a EDIROL R-44. While I meant to record the session as 4xmono, I inadvertently selected 4-channel WAV as the record mode. I am now stuck with this file format which is not very common. What software can import this WAV file format. Is it still possible to decompose this single wav file into the four original channels so I can produce a stereo wav file.

i just had to reformat. blecch

I have to confess that my knowledge of digital audio formats and the structure of various files is, at best, spotty. I'm going to have to swap files with people adding tracks to some base tracks I am recording, and I'd like to, uhh, actually know what I am doing. Can someone direct me to a reliable book, website, etc. where I can learn the details.

hey guys i just wanted to know what is the proper audio file type after a CD is mastered to go to duplication? any help would rock

Hi, i work mostly in classical music production, contemporary exactly, and lately i work with chromatic percussion instruments like vibes, marimba, glockenspiel etc.

Any recommendations,

between stereo micing or punctual with only one mic?

I use AIFF recording, but I know some people prefer WAV format. What are the details on each and why would you choose one over the other?

Seems like good news...

So I'm getting back into recording, and I hope someday to have enough money to build a place with full capabilities. At Full Sail, we used the SSL 4000 (I'm sure I only know 25% of that boards capabilities) and I've assisted for a while on same. Watching the SSL youtube videos of the AWS 900, like
