15.76 WAV64 files
Wave 64 is an audio file format developed by Sony that is very similar to the standard Wave
format, but with an important difference. Standard Wave files are limited in size to 2GB
(stereo), but Wave 64 allows virtually any length (actually the limit is 512GB).
The file extension is .w64.

15.77 Waveform
A Waveform is the visual representation of wave-like phenomena (such as sound or light).
The amplitude or sound pressure over time usually results in a smooth waveform.
In WaveLab, a waveform is generally represented with time on the horizontal (x-)axis, with
the start of the waveform being the leftmost point. The vertical (y-)axis is the amplitude of
the wave.

Wet/Dry is a term that describes the balance between the effect sound (wet) and the orig-
inal, unprocessed audio signal (dry). in a "dry" mix, the original signal is more pronounced;
with a "wet" mix, the effect sound is more dominant.

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a proprietary audio data compression technology devel-
oped by Microsoft. WMA can refer to an Audio File format or a range of audio codecs. Like
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) and Ogg Vorbis, WMA is intended to address perceived
deficiencies in the MP3 standard.
It is also possible to import/export audio in WMA surround format, provided that you have
Windows Media Player 9 (or later) installed on your system.
