Not that I want to be an Alexandra Patsavas (music supervisor of Grey's Anatomy), but since I consider myself to be an uber music disciple, I have found that there is more to sound in its technical aspect. I regularly update the songs or audio files in my iPod, and then one day I thought it would be nice to familiarize myself with these acronyms I encounter in my field.
Many file extensions came about in this generation of "everything digital." Now what do these stand for? For the sake of awareness, here are some of the most common technical terms in sound:
AVI - audio video interleave
AAC - advanced audio coding
AMR - adaptive multi-rate
WAV - wave / waveform audio format
WMA - windows media audio
MP3 - mpeg audio layer 3
MPEG - motion (moving) picture experts group
There you go. Now enjoy that sound.
