Convert WAV to ADG

Understanding WAV and ADG file formats

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is a standard audio file format used for storing waveform data. It is commonly used for high-quality audio files and is widely supported across various platforms and devices. WAV files are uncompressed, which means they retain all the original audio data, resulting in large file sizes.

ADG (Ableton Device Group) is a file format used by Ableton Live, a popular digital audio workstation (DAW). ADG files are used to save groups of devices, such as instruments and effects, along with their settings. This format is specific to Ableton Live and is used to streamline the workflow by allowing users to save and recall complex device setups easily.
