Description | 🔵 .caf (Core Audio Format) The .caf format is a file type developed by Apple Inc. as a container for audio data. It's designed to overcome limitations of older digital audio formats, including AIFF and WAV. For instance, CAF files can store audio of any bit depth and sample rate, and they are not limited in file size like older formatsThe Core Audio Format is natively supported on Mac OS X and iOS and is used for storing and manipulating digital audio data. |
Technical details | 🔵 The `.caf` (Core Audio Format) developed by Apple is an audio file format with these features: - Unlimited File Size: No size limitations, ideal for lengthy recordings. - Multiple Data Formats: Supports various audio codecs like PCM, AAC, MP3. - High-Quality Audio: Suitable for professional recording/editing with high sample rates, bit depths, and channels. - Compression: Supports both lossless and lossy compression. - Extensive Metadata: Can store text annotations, markers, channel layouts, and more. - Robust File Structure: Designed for minimal corruption risk and efficient editing. - Compatibility: Native to Apple devices/software; limited on non-Apple systems without conversion tools. - Non-destructive Editing: Allows editing without altering original files in some applications. - Auxiliary Data Support: Stores non-audio data like MIDI and text. - Sample Accurate Synchronization: Includes timestamps for precise audio/video synchronization. - Flexible Channel Count: Supports an arbitrary number of audio channels. `.caf` is optimal for professional audio within the Apple ecosystem but has limited wider adoption due to its Apple-centric design. |

Description | 🔵 A proprietary format with lossy compression, which have been created as an alternative for MP3 with a higher quality of coding. Overtones out of human perception are being removed. AAC is two times less than MP3, which means 1/10 of CD digital data. The format has been widely used since 1997 as the seventh release of the MPEG-2 family. As hardware players supply it, the format is highly demanded by music fans. It has been widely spread in Apple production and is being used by default in iTunes. |
Technical details | 🔵 The format conception is similar to MP3, but it is more advanced. Being able to execute larger compression, it is represented as a separate segment of MPEG-4 standard used to create compact audio files. AAC is highly efficient with variable and continuous bitrate, with a sampling frequency of 8-96 kHz. The current version complies with the standard of ISO/IEC 14496-3. Compression is performed based on an auditory masking effect that provides data reduction with no deterioration for sound quality. |
