| Description | 🔵 OGA files are the audio-only element of the OGG multimedia file system. If you were accessing an OGA file before 2007, it would probably have appeared on your PC as a document with .ogg extension. However, since the OGG format creator, Xiph.Org Foundation, created other extensions to cater to specific data types, multimedia files are now stored with data-specific extensions like .ogv, .oga, .ogm, .ogx, all under the OGG file system. In effect, instead of having a media file containing audio, video, text, and metadata all encoded into a chunk, each data type is encoded separately with a specific extension. |
| Technical details | 🔵 Since the OGG file system is open source, the audio-only OGA files can be written or modified using Ogg FLAC, OggPCM, Ogg Vorbis, or Speex, the last two not having favorable reviews. The Xiph.Org Foundation made a similar software to the public; the software pack makes it possible for open-source or commercial Windows applications to utilize OGA files without any conflict. |

| Description | 🔵 WAV is the simplest audio format developed in the early 1990s by Microsoft and IBM. It is a lossless formula which often means large file size. WAV files sound better than MP3s because they are lossless and uncompressed, providing uncompromised audio quality ideal for broadcast CD music, TV and radio. They are designed to store audio bit stream on CD and tend to be larger than most audio file formats. WAV files aren’t compressed and retain all elements of the original sound, making them perfect for sound processing in DAWs |
| Technical details | 🔵 How to create and how to open an WAV fileThere are many ways to create a WAV and virtually all digital audio workstations used by beat and music composers record and save using the WAV format. You can also convert other audio files to WAV and vice versa. To create a Wav file, simply open the audio in any program that supports the format and save. Recording tools and apps also render in WAV. Virtually all players that support MP3s also support WAV, so opening a WAV audio file should be effortless. Windows and Mac users can open WAV files using VLC, local media players, audio editors, online converters and players, DAWs and more. You can also play WAV files using the native player that comes with your Android and iOS smartphone. Which other formats WAV can be converted into and whyAs the simplest audio file format, WAV can be converted to almost any audio format. You can also convert other audio files to WAV. Here are the common conversions.
WAV to MP3 conversions are the most popular among portable device users and streamers. WAV files are uncompressed and lossless, so they tend to be very large, making them impractical for streaming and carrying in portable devices with limited storage. As such, most people convert WAV to MP3 files, which are up to 10 times smaller. As lossless file formats, WAVs offer the best sound quality and retain all elements, including reverbs, guitar sounds and transients. They are the perfect format for music composers, producers and sound designers. They are also supported by many platforms and programs, so you won’t have to convert to another format. However, you’ll probably need to compress them when sending, streaming to save space and bandwidth. |
