Question 1

Will converting OGG to WAV improve the audio quality?

Accepted Answer

No, converting to WAV will not restore audio data lost during OGG compression. The WAV file will contain the decoded OGG audio in an uncompressed container, preventing further quality degradation during editing.

Question 2

Why not just edit the OGG file directly?

Accepted Answer

Many professional DAWs and audio editors prefer or require uncompressed WAV files for import. Working in WAV also avoids re-encoding the audio every time you save, which would gradually degrade quality.

Question 3

How large will the WAV file be?

Accepted Answer

WAV files are roughly 10 MB per minute of stereo audio at CD quality (44.1 kHz, 16-bit). A 4-minute song will produce approximately a 40 MB WAV file regardless of the original OGG size.
