No WAV download on the track page? Paste the SoundCloud link here and download the song as a WAV file anyway, ready to drop into your crate, sampler or session.
The quick way
Three steps from a SoundCloud page to a WAV file on your drive, with no recording or audio software involved.
Copy the SoundCloud track URL from your browser, or use Share › Copy link in the SoundCloud app.
Paste the link into the box above and press Load track. You can preview the song before downloading.
WAV is already selected. Press Download and the file is saved under the track’s name.
What you get
For the moments when a track is going straight into Rekordbox, onto a USB for the club or into a project, and MP3 won’t do.
Only a few uploads have a download button, and fewer still offer WAV. This works on any public track, button or not.
Each SoundCloud WAV download is a standard 16-bit PCM file that DJ apps and DAWs open straight away, with no extra conversion.
Every track loads with a player and its artwork, so you can make sure you have the right edit or extended mix first.
Files are named after the track and carry the title and cover art inside, so your crate stays organised.
The same track can be saved as lossless FLAC, or as MP3 for your phone. WAV-to-MP3 is just a different button.
Download SoundCloud WAV files on Windows, Mac, Android or iPhone. No downloader app, extension or command line.
Plans
Uncompressed files are about ten times the size of a free MP3, so WAV is included in the Supporter pass along with FLAC, 320kbps MP3 and full playlists.

Where it lands
Where the WAV file is saved and what to do with it next.
The WAV goes to your Downloads folder. Drag it into Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, FL Studio or Ableton, or copy it to the USB stick you take to gigs.
Find the WAV in Downloads and drop it into Logic Pro, Ableton Live, GarageBand or your DJ software. It also imports into the Music app.
Paste the link in Safari and download. The WAV is in Files › Downloads, where GarageBand, djay and other music apps can open it.
Download in Chrome and the WAV appears in your Downloads folder, ready for a mobile DAW, a DJ app or a transfer to your laptop.
Straight answers
If an artist turns on downloads, SoundCloud shows a Download file option in the track’s menu. That gives you the file they originally uploaded, which is often a WAV. When it is there, use it: it is the best possible copy.
Most tracks are stream only. In that case a SoundCloud downloader is the practical route: SCtoMP3 takes the public stream and saves it as a WAV, so you get a file your DJ and production software can use.
You will see people search for SoundCloud to WAV 320kbps or HD WAV. Kbps is an MP3 setting; WAV is uncompressed. A WAV made from the stream keeps the stream’s quality exactly. It doesn’t get worse, but it can’t become better than the source.
Free WAV tools usually pay their way with pop-ups, redirects or bundled installers, which is why Reddit threads about the best converter change so often. SCtoMP3 keeps MP3 free and puts WAV in a small one-time pass, with no ads or tricks either way.
Recording the audio while it plays takes as long as the track, ties up your computer and can capture notification sounds. Downloading the WAV directly takes seconds and gives a clean file.
Use WAV downloads for your own uploads, free releases, promos you have been sent and music you have permission to play or sample. Credit the artists in your sets and support them when they release.
If the artist enabled downloads, use Download file on SoundCloud. Otherwise, paste the track link at the top of this page, press Load track and download it with WAV selected.
