A YouTube WAV file ready for editing
The converter takes the best audio stream available for the video and saves it as a standard WAV: uncompressed 16-bit PCM, 44.1 kHz, stereo. That is the format DAWs, DJ software and video editors open without any extra step.
Because WAV is uncompressed, the file keeps the sound exactly as downloaded, with no extra compression each time you edit, sample, slow down or re-export it. Expect about 10 MB per minute of audio.
What people use YouTube to WAV for
Producers pull samples and stems into Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro or GarageBand. DJs load tracks into rekordbox or Serato. Video editors drop a soundtrack onto the timeline, and podcasters clean up a recording in Audacity.
WAV also works well for ringtones, practice tracks you want to slow down, and any clip you plan to cut and export more than once.
