Frequently Asked Questions
Will the WAV sound different from the original AAC?
No — decoding AAC to WAV is lossless in this direction. The same audio that the AAC encoded is what the WAV contains. The WAV won't sound worse or better than playing the AAC.
Can I edit the WAV in any DAW?
Yes. WAV with PCM audio is universally supported — Pro Tools, Ableton, Logic, Cubase, Reaper, GarageBand, and Audacity all import WAV without issue.
