To do this, you go to the drop down menu within the track window, go to Set Sample Format and select 16-bit float. Once both sampling and bit rates have been altered to match, play your audio. If you are satisfied, then you can save the new file. Select File - Open to open your sound file. Audacity can open a wide range of files. (Windows) Audacity 2.1.0 requires Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) or XP SP2 (64-bit), Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1. (Windows) Audacity is now compiled using Visual Studio 2013. (Windows) Recording with WASAPI host now includes experimental support for physical inputs (up to 24-bit depth) as well as loopback recording.
Convert bitrate of your .WAV file using Audacity.
If your end goal is to create a true Audio CD (that can be played in a CD player) your .WAV files must be in this exact format:
16 bit
1411 Kbps
44Khz (44.1)
You may have been editing your .WAV files in a higher 24bit or 32bit format, but to actually record to an Audio CD, they need to be down-converted to the slightly lower quality 16bit 1411Kbps format. Audio CD players read files only in this format, so you can't put 24bit or 32bit higher bitrate files on a true Audio CD.
We recommend the Audacity audio software because it's FREE, open source, can be used in Windows and Macs, and does many things besides just converting bitrate.
Visit http://www.audacityteam.org/download/ to download and install for both Windows and Mac. We've tested this software as safe from adware or any malware etc. If you are concerned with viruses (as you should), visit SoftPedia.com to find trusted information about any kind of software you might think to install.
First, you need to drag and drop your .WAV files from where you have them stored on your computer directly onto the Audacity program to load them.
In this case, you can see the bitrate of these files is 2116kbps. On your computer, you may have to right click and look at properties to find the bitrate.
Audacity Change 32-bit To 16 Bit
This is how it looks when your .WAV files have loaded into the Audacity Window.
You do not need to change any default program settings.
Choose File - Save Other - Export Multiple...
By exporting the file(s), it converts to 16 bit 1411kbps file(s).
Choose the WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM format. By default, this 16 bit output format will convert the bitrate to 1411kbps.
Pick the output folder.
You don't need to choose the option to 'Overwrite existing files'.
Audacity Export 16 Bit Mp3
Find your exported .WAV files on your computer.
Right click on one of your files to find properties. Look at the Details tab. This is where you should see the bitrate for your new files. It should be 1411kbps which is the correct format for an Audio CD.
