OPUS. Opus is the codec behind WhatsApp voice notes, Discord and WebRTC calls. It is the most efficient lossy codec here, especially for speech.
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
WAV is lossless, but it can’t restore what the OPUS encoder already removed. You get an exact copy of the OPUS sound in a format editors accept, at a much bigger file size. Hear the difference between lossless and MP3 yourself.
