One reason our encoding service is superior to an automated service, used by many conference call companies, is that we always begin by recording your conference call into a wave file (.wav) format.  Whether you ultimately want delivery of a MP3, WMA or RM file, we always record your phone call originally in wave.  This allows us to fully optimize your recording on a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) before you receive your file.  For customers who wish to have a copy of their original wave file, AFS is happy to oblige for only a small additional charge.

AFS Definition:  A wave file (.wav) is a high quality, uncompressed audio file.  This type of file is great as an archive and for editing on a DAW.  Wave files are very large and are not normally used for playback over the internet unless the program material is very short (no more than a few minutes at 11khz, 16bit).  AudioFile Solutions creates wave files that are in a 11khz, 16bit format for conference calls and 44.1khz, 16bit format for a full bandwidth recording.  (Comparison Table)
