- define and discuss lossless and lossy audio files (and give examples of file types)
Some typical lossless file formats include FLAC, WAV, and ALAC. Lossy audio files are compressed to reduce the file size, typically resulting in an MP3 or AAC file that is a quarter of its original size.
- how normalization is different than compression
Normalization helps to reduce the overall volume of the music, but compression squishes the dynamic range and makes it all condensed.
