Made for real use
Download SoundCloud audio to WAV for any job
People convert SoundCloud songs to WAV for very different reasons. Here is how the files fit each one.
- 01
Building a USB for a DJ gig
WAV is read by practically every CDJ, controller and DJ app. Download each track to WAV, then copy the folder to your USB stick.
- 02
Sampling in a DAW
Drag the WAV into Ableton, FL Studio or Logic and start chopping. No decoding step, so the audio is ready to warp and slice.
- 03
Backing up your own uploads
Lost the original of something you posted? Download it from your SoundCloud profile as a WAV to keep a copy on your drive.
- 04
Editing a podcast or mix
Audacity, Audition and Reaper all handle WAV without fuss, so you can trim, fade and export without losing quality.
- 05
Tracks with no download option
You can download from SoundCloud as WAV even when the artist has not enabled downloads, as long as the track is public.
- 06
MP3 or FLAC from the same link
Need a lighter copy for your phone or a compact lossless archive? Pick MP3 or FLAC for the same track instead of WAV.

Troubleshooting
Problems downloading from SoundCloud to WAV? Try this
The track is private or a preview
Private tracks, songs blocked in your country and 30-second Go+ previews cannot be downloaded. Open the link in a private browser window: if it doesn’t play fully there without logging in, it can’t be converted.
I can’t find the WAV file
On a computer, check your Downloads folder. On iPhone, open the Files app and choose Downloads under On My iPhone or iCloud Drive. On Android, open the Files app and choose Downloads.
The file is huge
That is normal: WAV is uncompressed, at roughly 10 MB per minute. A 60-minute mix is around 600 MB. If space matters, download the same track as FLAC, which is lossless and much smaller.
My playlist only gives MP3
Playlist downloads are delivered as MP3. To get WAV files from a playlist, copy each track’s link and download it here one at a time.
Only download what you may keep
Use WAV downloads for your own uploads, free releases, promos sent to you and music you have permission to play or sample. Support the artists whose tracks end up in your sets.
