- Description
- The Sound Designer II file, with the extension .sd2, is an audio file format that was originally developed by Digidesign for their digital audio workstation software, specifically for use in professional recording and editing environments. The format was widely used for its high-quality audio data storage and was particularly popular in the late 80s and 90s. It supports multiple audio channels and bit depths, making it versatile for various audio production tasks.
- The Portable Voice Format (PVF) is a digital audio file format primarily used for storing voice recordings. PVF files are designed to encapsulate voice data at various bit rates, making them suitable for applications where voice clarity and file size are critical, such as voicemail systems, interactive voice response systems, and other telephony applications. Unlike more common audio formats that aim for high fidelity and music playback, PVF focuses on the efficient encoding of speech, optimizing for intelligibility and compact file size.
