About formats

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) was developed by Apple in 1988, drawing its structural design from Electronic Arts' IFF standard. As an uncompressed audio container, AIFF stores linear PCM data at full CD quality — typically 16-bit at 44.1 kHz — preserving every detail of the original recording without lossy encoding. The format organizes content into chunks that can also carry metadata such as markers, instrument definitions, and comments. Professional audio engineers on macOS frequently rely on AIFF because it guarantees bit-perfect fidelity through every stage of editing and mastering. One significant advantage is zero generational loss: unlike MP3 or AAC, repeated saves never degrade the signal. Another strength is seamless integration with Apple's professional tools, including Logic Pro and GarageBand, where AIFF serves as a native working format. The container supports multiple sample rates and bit depths up to 32-bit, accommodating high-resolution workflows that exceed CD-quality specifications. For anyone prioritizing lossless integrity over storage efficiency, AIFF remains a dependable choice across the recording industry.

AVR (Audio Visual Research) is an audio format that originated on the Apple Macintosh around 1989, created by the Audio Visual Research company for their editing and synthesis tools. It stores raw audio samples preceded by a fixed-length header containing sample rate, bit depth (8 or 16 bits), channel configuration, and loop point markers. Unlike complex container formats, AVR uses a flat binary structure with no compression, preserving the full waveform quality at the expense of larger files. The format served professional Macintosh audio workstations during the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the Mac platform dominated creative computing. One advantage is uncompressed storage guaranteeing zero artifacts and perfect signal integrity through editing operations. Native loop markers represent another feature, letting sound designers define seamless repetition points within the file — ahead of its time for sample-based music production. Tools like SoX maintain AVR support, ensuring archivists can access and convert these legacy recordings. While eclipsed by WAV and AIFF, AVR remains a notable piece of early digital audio history.
