reducing size .wav

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Hi guys,

What would be the best to optimize .wav (/sound) files without losing to much quality (a bit is okay)? Is converting to .mp3 a good idea for this?

Which tool would you recommend for it?

Thanks in advance!

Warcraft III can only accept .wav and .mp3 audio file type.
.mp3 is smaller than .wav, it's better to convert to .mp3.

I don't know about full optimization but I think .mp3 works. Or if you want it in your phone convert it into AAC.

I would recommend using Format Factory, though I don't have a link; but I will provide one in a moment.

you cant optimize song to the point that it wont increase map size without losing quality. So It's better not to use imported music. Sounds lasting few seconds, yes.

I'd recommend using online file converter, it's more easier and safe.
Try convert it go .ogg (if you want to convert it other than using it in Warcraft III maps)

First: mp3 is looksing quality
Second: most common PC speakers cannot play what mp3 lost even from original wav.

If you are not makeing cinematics that you will play on good speakers you can convert to mp3. But make a copy of original file as you will be unable to convert back.

You will be surprised but most humans can hear a difference if you set the bitrate low enough.
