Upload a WAV file and mix it down to a single mono channel.
For uncompressed WAV the arithmetic is exact: mono is half the size of stereo at the same sample rate and bit depth. Both channels are mixed into one, so nothing recorded only on the left or right disappears.
Transcription services price and perform better on mono. Telephony systems require it. Field interviews recorded in stereo with one dead channel become clean centered mono. Speech datasets for machine learning are conventionally mono as well.
Yes. Downmixing centers the active channel, producing a normal-sounding mono file instead of one-eared playback.
No practical one. Spoken word carries no meaningful stereo information, which is why voice specs default to mono.
No, the downmix runs entirely on your device.
