Wave Merge
Broadcast Audio Delivery — Built for Speed, Built to Spec.
Merge 5.1 surround + stereo into a perfect 8-channel WAV in seconds. No DAW required.
Every TV and streaming delivery requires a very specific audio channel layout. Building it manually in Pro Tools or a DAW means routing sessions, plugins, and time you don’t have. Wave Merge does it in one step.
Drop in your 5.1 file. Drop in your stereo. Hit Merge. Done.

Building broadcast deliveries in a DAW is slow and error-prone
Audio post-production engineers know the pain: you have a perfect 5.1 mix and a stereo downmix, and your delivery spec requires them combined into a single 8-channel WAV. In a DAW, that means creating a new session, setting up routing, assigning channels, checking levels, exporting, and validating.
Wave Merge eliminates all of that. It merges your files at the sample level — no re-encoding, no quality loss — and automatically validates that your files are compatible before it starts.
