A representation of audio data used before transformation into spectrograms or embeddings.
Waveforms represent audio data as a time-domain signal, capturing the amplitude variations over time. This representation is used as a basis for further processing, such as transforming into spectrograms or embeddings for analysis.
Waveforms are typically sampled at regular intervals, with each sample representing the audio signal's amplitude at a specific point in time. They can be processed using techniques like Fourier transforms to extract frequency information.
