Tips to convert PCM to AAC

Converting PCM to AAC can seem daunting, but with the right approach, it becomes a breeze. Here are some specific tips to ensure a smooth conversion process:

  • Check Sample Rate: Ensure your PCM file's sample rate matches the desired AAC output to avoid quality loss.
  • Use High Bitrate: Opt for a higher bitrate during conversion to maintain audio fidelity, especially for music files.
  • Normalize Audio: Normalize the audio levels of your PCM file before conversion to achieve consistent volume in the AAC output.
