Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I convert MP3 to WAV?
Many DAWs prefer WAV files for editing. Importing MP3 directly can cause timing issues or extra re-encodes. Starting with WAV avoids those problems and keeps your edit session clean.
Will converting MP3 to WAV improve the audio quality?
No — converting a lossy MP3 to WAV does not recover the information discarded during MP3 compression. WAV wraps the decoded MP3 audio in an uncompressed container. The quality ceiling is set by the original MP3.
How big will the WAV file be?
A stereo WAV at CD quality (44.1 kHz, 16-bit) is roughly 10 MB per minute. A 3-minute MP3 becomes around 30 MB as WAV.
What DAWs accept WAV input?
Virtually all DAWs accept WAV: Audacity, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, GarageBand, Adobe Audition, FL Studio, and Reaper.
Is my audio file private?
Yes. Files are automatically deleted within 60 minutes. We do not store or share your content.
