Good to know: MP3 to WAV
Differences between the two formats that affect the result.
01
ToolzStack currently saves this format in mono at 22,050 Hz to keep files small, so stereo recordings are mixed down to one channel and frequencies above about 11 kHz are removed. It is not a full-quality copy of stereo music; keep your original file if you need one.
02
WAV is lossless, but converting from lossy MP3 cannot recover quality that was already removed; the file just becomes larger.
Current output settings
Important if you are converting music.
01
The WAV file is currently saved in mono at 22,050 Hz to keep it small. Stereo recordings are mixed to one channel and frequencies above about 11 kHz are removed.
02
That is fine for speech, but music will sound duller and lose its stereo image compared with the MP3.
03
Converting MP3 to WAV never restores quality that MP3 compression already removed; WAV only makes the file larger.
