How do you convert a WAV mix to a MP3 320 kix?
Says it all in the description, just wondering the best way, My mix gets recorded as a WAV file through Serato, just want to make it MP3. What is the best way? sorry for the noobish question
Well, if you’re using a mac then iTunes convert is a safe bet.
- Set your convert preferences in iTunes to MP3 320kps.
- Open your WAV file in iTunes.
- Right click your file (inside the iTunes browser) and hit convert.
iTunes will now convert the file, usually has a small orange spinning icon indicating it’s working on it, with a loud “ding!” when it’s done.
- Your MP3 version should be underneath the WAV file in the browser.
- Right click the MP3 version, hit “Show in Finder”.
- There’s your MP3 version, save it wherever you want at this point. (It’ll also stay in your iTunes library)
That’s how I’ve been doing it on a mac. I’m sure there’s an easy way to do it on a PC too, I just never use one to work on audio.
Hope that helps!
