FLAC is the sensible archive format for a recording session: lossless, so the samples come back exactly as they went in, and typically half the space a WAV demands. Tags travel with it too, which WAV never really managed. Nothing is uploaded, so a master take stays on the machine that recorded it.
Frequently asked questions
- Is any audio lost when WAV becomes FLAC?
- None whatsoever. The compression is mathematically reversible, and decoding it later returns the very samples the WAV held.
- How much smaller should I expect the FLAC to be?
- Between 40 and 60 percent of the original for most music and speech. Dense, loud material compresses least and quiet acoustic recordings most.
- Can I turn it back into a WAV later?
- Yes, and the result is identical to the file you started from. That reversibility is what makes FLAC an archive copy rather than merely a smaller one.
