Basic method of digitally recording uncompressed audio as numerical samples. PCM is commonly found within WAV files and is convenient for editing, but takes up a lot of space.
Why it matters
Raw form of sound: numerical samples without compression, ideal for editing and processing. Every audio format starts and ends as PCM — compression is just transport.
What's missing without it
Editing compressed files multiplies losses: each operation decodes and re-encodes, degrading sound quality.
When it is used
In audio processing and recording; converted to compressed format for publishing.
How we use it
Audio pipeline uses WAV PCM as working format before normalization and final compression.
