Awave Audio is a dedicated audio file format batch converter.
Do conversions from the about 60 audio file formats that it can read into any of the 30 or so audio file formats that it writes!
A 3-step procedure makes converting large numbers of audio files both fast and simple!
Handle very large files without using up your memory. *
Handle audiophile quality audio formats! 24-bit 192-KHz multi-channel audio? No problem! Internal sample precision is 32-bit floating point! For improved sound quality, noise dithering is used when decreasing sample bit-depths (e.g. when going from 24 to 16-bit). *
You can do optional effects processing using up to four DirectShow effect filters (a.k.a. DirectX plug-ins - also used by many other professional audio software) as well as built in functions such as resampling and silence removal.
Bonus feature: The Audio Recording Wizard easily lets you make new recordings.
Bonus feature: Read Audio CD tracks (reqs: MMC2 compatible CD/DVD-ROM + ASPI32 drivers). *
Footnote: * These are features that are not available with 'big brother' Awave Studio, which on the other hand does a great many things, e.g. handling synthesizer instruments, collections, midi, editing, et c that Awave Audio wont do.
Our Review: This is quite possibly THE best audio converter on the market. It not only does all your favourites such as WAV, MP3, AIFF, etc, but just about every file type imaginable. Has a huge list of options, such as stereo/mono recording, normalising, removing silent sections, you name it. You can convert a huge amount of files at the same time, and it all happens at a reasonably fast pace. You can choose output directories, and overall the source file if you want. If you are after a good, rock-solid converter that will do all you want and more, press the little rotating disk! Boo Yah!
