About WAV and AAC
WAV: WAV stores uncompressed PCM audio, so it keeps every bit of the original sound. Files are large, but WAV is the standard for audio editing, studios and professional software.
AAC: AAC is the successor to MP3 and the audio codec behind YouTube, iTunes and most streaming services. A .aac file stores the raw AAC stream without an MP4 wrapper.
