PolyWAV Splitter
PolyWAV Splitter takes a single multichannel WAV (often called a polyWAV or multichannel WAV from a field recorder) and writes one mono WAV file per audio channel.
The operation is a lossless split: channel data is copied out as separate files without re-encoding, so sample rate and bit depth match the source. Linear PCM and 32-bit float sources are supported.
When to use it
Use it when you need discrete mono files for a DAW, dialogue editorial or handoff, but the production sound team delivered one multichannel WAV instead of split monos.
It is a straightforward file prep step and does not decode LTC or build timelines by itself. Use LTC Magic’s other workflows when you also need timecode or timeline outputs.
How to run it
- Open PolyWAV Splitter from the Overview screen.
- Choose the source multichannel WAV.
- Choose a separate output folder.
- Choose Split channels.
- Confirm the channel count and output filenames before sharing the files downstream.
As with any export, keep originals safe and write outputs to a dedicated folder so you can re-run or compare results without touching the source recording.
