How do I convert a RAW audio file to CAF?

To convert RAW to CAF, start by selecting your RAW file and entering its sample rate (e.g., 44100 Hz), bit depth (16/24-bit), and channel layout (mono/stereo). The tool then places the raw PCM samples into a CAF container with matching metadata. After a quick processing, you can download the .caf file for use in Final Cut, Logic Pro, or Xcode.

Why should I convert RAW audio to CAF instead of WAV or MP3?

CAF (Apple Core Audio Format) is designed for large audio files and supports many codecs, including PCM. Unlike RAW, CAF includes a header with metadata, so it can be played directly by macOS and iOS without additional parameters. Converting to CAF is ideal for app development, audio editing in Logic Pro, and broadcasting because it preserves all original audio data while adding a self-describing container.

Does RAW to CAF conversion preserve my original audio quality and settings?

Yes, the conversion is lossless. Since RAW is just a stream of PCM audio samples, the tool does not alter the samples themselves. It only creates a CAF header that records your specified sample rate, bit depth, and channel count. No re-sampling, dithering, or compression is applied. If your RAW data is interleaved, ensure you set the correct channel count; otherwise the channel mapping may be misinterpreted.
