Polywav Splitter

Polywav Splitter takes a single multichannel WAV (often called a polywav or polyphonic WAV from a field recorder) and writes one mono WAV file per audio channel.

The operation is a lossless demux: channel data is copied out as separate files without re-encoding, so sample rate, bit depth, and audio quality match the source.

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 rebuild timelines by itself. Use LTC Magic’s other workflows when you also need timecode or timeline outputs.

How to run it

In LTC Magic, open Polywav Splitter, choose the source multichannel WAV, pick an output folder, and run the split. Confirm the channel count and output filenames in the app before sharing 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.
