Sound considerations

Sound Format

The sound format I will be using is mp3. I chose this due to its very small file size and common use on website software. This makes it much easier to try and edit the audio when needed so I can have a larger range of websites that I can work with. Not only this, but it uses Lossy file compression to result in a very small end file size, which therefore makes the files much easier to work with; not only this but the lossy compression that it uses doesn’t leave a recognisable impact on the audios quality therefore resulting in a good quality small size file.

 

Storage method

As for the storage method, I’m going to use cloud storage as it is the most global and convenient storage method. It’s an internet-based storage, therefore it doesn’t depend on your computer type. This is useful for me as I’m going to be working on both the macs and windows computers; cloud’s accessibility is one of its greatest features that will surely benefit me. Not only this, but it also has an easily upgradeable max storage, this means that if I would ever need more storage, I would be able to easily upgrade as you can simply order more storage. The main reason however I chose cloud over the other storage methods is due to its safety, cloud is the only storage method where it is next to impossible to lose your work, as one , there is no physical storage there back it cannot be lost physically, and two it has backups kept of it often so that if your current file ever does corrupt you can just download a backup file of it.

 

Compression

For compression I’m going to be using DRC compression which adds thresholds to your audio files. This makes it so that if your audio file gets too quiet or too loud it will raise or increase the sound of that file to make it so that range of your sound levels less. Overall  making the file take up much less storage.
