What happens to your data

Kept

  • Sample rate and channels (mono, stereo, even 5.1 surround) are read as they are
  • Apple Core Audio files (.caf) from GarageBand and Logic are supported
  • Saved as uncompressed 16-bit WAV with the original sample rate and channels
  • Title, artist and album tags are carried over

Good to know

  • A 24-bit hi-res file is reduced to 16-bit in the WAV. Choose FLAC to keep 24-bit.

CAF vs WAV

CAF

A CAF file is Apple's Core Audio Format, a flexible container Mac apps like GarageBand and Logic use. It has no 4 GB size limit and can hold almost any codec, but few non-Apple players open it.

Used in: GarageBand & Logic · Mac & iOS apps

WAV

A WAV file stores audio completely uncompressed — full quality, but large file sizes. It's the standard for professional audio editing, recording, and mastering, where quality matters more than size.

Used in: Audio editing & mastering · Professional recording · Sound design
