Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is my AIFF file so large?
AIFF is an uncompressed audio container that records every PCM sample without compression, resulting in file sizes of roughly 10MB per minute of stereo sound.
Q: How does converting AIFF to MP3 help?
Converting AIFF to 320 kbps MP3 reduces the file size by 80-85%, allowing you to email reference tracks, upload to online players, and save storage space.
Q: Can I convert AIFF to WAV for Windows DAWs?
Yes! Selecting WAV produces a 100% bit-accurate RIFF PCM WAV file that opens in every Windows and Linux audio editing program.
