Audio
Playback is available via Q-Lab, SFX, CD or direct finger drive, iPod interfaces.
Preferred file formats for Q-Lab (MAC) playback are WAV files. We can play MP3s, but Q Lab sometimes has issues with these files.
Preferred file formats for SFX (PC) playback are :WAV, or MP3.
Basically WAV files are very large, but sound great. You may not be able to send them via email but large file transfer software like Dropbox work just fine. MP3 files are quite small but may be unacceptable in sound quality. Having a WAV file with an MP3 backup would be safe.
