How to convert WAV to MP3

Open the WAV, Convert/Export, pick MP3, set bitrate, save.

A WAV is a master-shaped file. MP3 is a delivery copy. WaveSmith keeps that distinction so you do not overwrite the only lossless you have.

How to do it in WaveSmith

  1. Open the WAV. Confirm the HUD sample rate.
  2. Ctrl+Shift+X → Lossy → MP3. 192 kbps is a sane default; 320 if the host allows it.
  3. Save the MP3 next to the WAV. Keep the WAV.
