About WAV and M4A
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.
M4A: M4A is an MPEG-4 container holding AAC audio. It sounds better than MP3 at the same size and is the default format for iPhone voice memos, Apple Music downloads and many Android recorders.
