It is the main format used on Windows systems for raw and typically uncompressed audio.

One more suggestion, the are free tools on the net for such conversions. For the 24 bit values the natural way looks to be to replace 3 bytes with 2 ommitting the les significant one but it's not sure it will work, it depends on what internal representation of the 24 bit value is used for that case.īTW, before starting to work, make sure you FULLY UNDERSTAND the wave file format. I exposed the mathematical reasons just because the simpler way of replacing two bytes with one may not be suitable in the case of the 24 bit values. Note that in the case of a conversion from 16 to 8 bit the final result will be always the same with the second byte (that's 37) and normally you can do no calculation, just replace the two bytes with the second one.īy converting from 16 bit to 8 bit, for each value tou'll use only one byte instead of two, so the lenght of the data chunk will be reduced to half of the initial lenght. What we did in two steps can be achieved in one step: Let's suppose the first two bytes in the data chunk are the numbers 179 and 37. The newly converted number will be always in the range (-128 to 127) so you'll need only one byte to store it.
To convert this value from a 16 bit to 8 bit you need a linear function able to convert a number from the the two byte range of (-32768 to 32767) to the one byte range of (-128 to 127). In the case of a 16 bit, a value is represented by two bytes.

To find out the exact way of representation you'll need to look for info on the net and / or to create some test wav files to see what numbers what results yield.īecause of that I'll explain how to do it to convert from 16 to 8 bit. Actually I can figure out several ways but i can't be sure which one is used. I never used the 24 bit format, it's a little bit confusing to me, I can't figure out how negative and positive values will be represented in a 24 bit value. A bigger number in the data chunk means the membrane wil move up, a smaller number means the membrane will go down.Īctually the numbers in the data chunk are signed integers, meaning that positive values will push the membrane up, negative values will push it down. Basicly it's a description of the way the speaker's membrane goes up and down creating a vibration. The data in the data chunk describes the form of the wave of the sound. The rest of the work is in the data chunk. First of all you need a new header describing the new format.
