Why convert FLAC to WAV
FLAC and WAV are both lossless. FLAC is just compressed to save space. Some DAWs, CDJs, samplers and delivery portals still only take WAV.
Converting FLAC to WAV unpacks the audio into PCM with no quality loss.
Distributor delivery
When a portal asks for WAV specifically.
CDJs and samplers
Gear that reads WAV but not FLAC.
Mixing and mastering
Import into sessions that prefer WAV.
Is FLAC to WAV lossless?
Yes, as long as you keep the bit depth at or above the source. Pick 24-bit for a 24-bit FLAC and 16-bit for a CD-quality FLAC.
The WAV will be larger because it is uncompressed, usually 1.5 to 2 times the FLAC size.
