File compression is the process of reducing the size of a recorded audio file, potentially at the expense of recording quality. Full-spectrum files can be compressed to smaller file sizes as they are recorded or after the fact, using software. If the compression method used involves discarding information, as is the case with the W4V format, higher compression percentages result in smaller files but with more loss of fidelity.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Faunatech acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
