Audio data refers to sound information that can be recorded, stored, and processed by electronic devices. This data can include music, speech, and other sounds, and is typically represented in digital formats such as MP3, WAV, or AAC. Audio data is essential for various applications, including music streaming, voice recognition, and multimedia presentations. To work with audio data, it is often converted into numerical values that represent sound waves. These values can be manipulated using software for editing, mixing, or analyzing sounds. Common tools for handling audio data include digital audio workstations (DAWs) and audio editing software, which allow users to create and modify sound recordings.
