General guidance for working with audio files.

The Audio2Face Neural networks audio inputs sample rate is 16KHz. As such working with Audio source files where everything >= 16KHz is optimal in terms of quality. Ensuring your audio clip sample rate is a multiple of 16 will allow for longer duration audio clips. Audio files that do not have sample rates that are multiples of 16KHz (eg 44100) would be more limited as to the duration of the audio that can be processed by the network as resampling requires a larger memory footprint.
