There are a variety
of sound formats for saving your sound. The most common format on the
PC is WAVE which uses the suffix .wav. On the Apple Mac WAVE files can
also be read but the more common file format is AIFF (Audio Information
File Format) which uses the .aif suffix.
A number of additional
file formats occur on the PC and are shown in SoundForge XP when you
go to save as (see below).
WAVE files will
play in Video for Windows. On the Apple Mac WAVE files will play in
the Quicktime Player as well as AVI and AIFF files.
Having saved your
files on the computer, it is possible to record them back to MiniDisc
or cassete simply by connecting the device to the speaker port of your
computer.
It is also possible
to upload your sound files to the internet as part of a website. Go
to the next step to see how this can be done.
