Convert WAV to ASND

Understanding wav and asnd file formats

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is a widely used uncompressed audio file format developed by Microsoft and IBM. It stores raw audio data and is popular for its high quality and compatibility with most audio editing software.

ASND (Adobe Sound Document) is a proprietary audio file format used by Adobe Audition. It allows for non-destructive editing, storing multiple audio tracks, effects, and session information in a single file, making it ideal for complex audio projects within Adobe's ecosystem.
