Converting Sound Files

There are a variety of digital sound file formats that can be used to transfer your AVS session to an audio player or CD. Here are the most common formats and their relation to AVS:

Converting wav to MP3 files
You may also quickly and easily convert your encoded .wav files to MP3 files. Set parameters as follows:

1. Start your third-party wav to mp3 converter program

2. Set bit rate slider to highest quality 320kb

3. Click advanced options. Set Encoding to Variable bitrate / high

4. Set Preset Quality to Very High

5. Click OK and then begin conversion of your .wav file

WAV Files – WAV files are usually what is exported from AVS software. This format is as high quality as it gets, and is standard enough that it will be compatible with every media player or CD burning software on the market. Unfortunately, WAV files also take up a lot of space: an hour long AVS session in WAV form can easily fill up your audio player. With audio CDs, however, this isn’t an issue, since it is the length of the song, not the format of the sound file that consumes space on an audio CD.

WMA and OGG Files – WMA and OGG files are basically the same as MP3s with one exception: they tend to work better with AudioStrobe. If you are in the market for a portable audio player like an iPod, choose one that supports WMA or OGG files if you can.
