Turn a finished mix or master into a video with its artwork, keep the levels as you mastered them, and get a file small enough to upload or send.
To convert a WAV to MP4, open the WAV above, add the artwork, switch off the volume levelling so your master is left as it is, and export. The result is an MP4 with your artwork as the picture and the song as 192 kbps AAC sound, which YouTube, Instagram, clients’ phones and every media player will open.
WAV files usually come from a studio, a DAW or a mastering engineer, which changes what matters. You want the mix to sound exactly as approved, the start and end untouched, and a file that isn’t ten times bigger than it needs to be. This page opens the studio on the Audio panel for that reason. FLAC masters work the same way. For an ordinary MP3, the MP3 to MP4 converter has the general steps.
Landscape (16:9) is selected for YouTube. Press Choose a WAV (Ctrl+O or ⌘+O) or drop the file. FLAC, AIFF and other formats open the same way.
The Audio panel is open. Switch Even out the volume off, then drag Fade in and Fade out to 0.0 s unless you are cutting the song short.
A song longer than 75 seconds opens on its liveliest 30 seconds. Drag Clip start to the very beginning and Clip end to the end of the timeline. Up to 10 minutes fits in one video.
In Text, press Cover art and choose the release artwork. Add the song as Title and the artist under Show or speaker. Wave sets how much the visualiser moves; None keeps it still.
Press Export, choose 1080p, press Export video, then Download video.
A WAV is uncompressed: every sample of the mix is stored as it is, which is why a three-minute song is around 30 MB. An MP4 can’t usefully carry uncompressed sound for upload, so the audio is encoded as AAC, the standard sound format for MP4 video, at 192 kbps in stereo.
Even out the volume lifts quiet recordings to a steady speech level. That is welcome on a podcast and wrong on a master, where you chose the loudness on purpose, so switch it off. The default Fade in and Fade out are short, gentle fades that hide a cut mid-sentence; a finished song already starts and ends where it should.
A video of the mix with its artwork and title is easy to play on any phone, in a chat or on a shared drive, where a WAV link often just downloads. A few choices make it work better:
Releasing a track with something more than a still? A music visualizer with spectrum bars or a spinning record suits a single or an album teaser.
A little, because the sound is stored as 192 kbps AAC rather than uncompressed. Most listeners can’t hear the difference, and every streaming platform compresses the sound anyway. Keep your WAV as the master copy.
Yes. FLAC opens directly and is treated exactly like a WAV. Switch off Even out the volume and the fades to keep the master’s levels.
WAV stores the sound uncompressed, about 10 MB per minute of CD-quality stereo. MP3 and AAC remove detail that is hard to hear and come out at roughly a fifth to a tenth of that size.
No. YouTube accepts video files, not sound on its own. Convert the WAV to a video with a picture first, as above.
One video holds up to 10 minutes. For a longer piece, such as a full DJ set, use a desktop tool; the MP3 to MP4 page has an FFmpeg command for still-image videos of any length.
No. The WAV is decoded and the video encoded in your browser, and the file never leaves your computer. Captions are off for music; the speech service is used only if you press Make captions, and then only for the selected clip.
