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.
Why use Wave Merge instead of your DAW?
| Pro Tools / DAW | Wave Merge |
| Setup time | 10–20 minutes | 30 seconds |
| Risk of channel routing error | High | None — auto-validated |
| Requires an active DAW license | Yes | No |
| Works without opening a session | No | Yes |
| Quality loss from re-encoding | Possible | Never — sample-copy only |
Handles the three most common broadcast delivery formats
Scenario 1 — 5.1 + Stereo (Full Surround Delivery)
- Channels 1–6: Your 5.1 surround mix (L, R, C, LFE, Ls, Rs)
- Channels 7–8: Your stereo mix
Standard delivery for streaming and broadcast
Scenario 2 — Stereo with Silent Channels
- Channels 1–2: Stereo mix
- Channels 3–6: Silence (as required by spec)
- Channels 7–8: Stereo mix (repeated)
For stations requiring stereo on specific channel positions
Scenario 3 — Described Video (DV) Delivery
- Channels 1–2: Main program mix (stereo)
- Channels 3–6: Silence
- Channels 7–8: Described Video mix
