Power Tab scores are notation files, not recordings, so a player or editor that accepts audio may not be able to use them. Converting a PTB score to WAV renders its notes as playable audio for listening, editing, or sharing.
What the PTB format is
PTB is the native score format of Power Tab Editor, a Windows program used to write guitar and bass tablature with standard notation. A PTB file stores musical notation and playback information; it does not contain a recorded performance.
What the WAV format is
WAV is an audio file format commonly used for uncompressed PCM sound. It is supported by audio editors and many playback devices, and it preserves the rendered audio without lossy compression, though files are larger than compressed formats such as MP3.
How to convert PTB to WAV
Online on 101convert.com
- Upload the PTB file on the converter page.
- Choose WAV as the output format and start the conversion. The page uses MuseScore for conversion, and multiple files can be processed as a batch. Check the page for its per-file size limit.
- Download the converted WAV file.
Offline with desktop software
MuseScore is free desktop notation software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the PTB file in MuseScore, then choose File → Export and select WAV as the export format. If your MuseScore version does not open the PTB file, use Power Tab Editor on Windows to export the score as MIDI, open that MIDI file in MuseScore, and export it as WAV.
Quality and limitations
The WAV contains a software-rendered performance, not the original sound of a guitar recording. Its tone depends on the playback instruments available in the software; note timing and the score’s arrangement also affect the result. WAV export can produce a substantially larger file than compressed audio.
