AIFF. AIFF is Apple’s uncompressed format, the Mac equivalent of WAV. Logic, GarageBand exports and CD rips on Macs often use it.
WAV. WAV stores raw PCM samples with no compression at all. What you save is exactly what the editor sees, which is why studios and editors use it.
What happens to quality
Both are lossless, so the WAV file holds exactly the same samples as the AIFF. Nothing is lost. Hear the difference between lossless and MP3 yourself.
