.wav 파일이란?

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is a standard uncompressed audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM. WAV files store audio data in raw PCM format, preserving full studio-quality sound but resulting in very large file sizes (~10MB per minute for CD quality). WAV is the standard format for professional audio production, sound design, and music mastering. It is universally supported across all platforms and audio software.
