Convert REX to WAVE

Understanding REX and WAVE file formats

REX files are loop-based audio files created by Propellerhead's ReCycle software. They contain audio data sliced into rhythmic segments, allowing for tempo flexibility and easy manipulation in digital audio workstations (DAWs). WAVE (or WAV) files are a standard, uncompressed audio format widely used for high-quality sound storage and editing.

Why convert REX to WAVE?

Converting REX to WAVE is useful when you want to use REX loops in software that does not support the REX format, or when you need a standard audio file for mixing, mastering, or further processing.

How to convert REX to WAVE

To convert REX files to WAVE, you need specialized software that can read REX files and export them as WAV. Here are the best options:

• Propellerhead ReCycle: The original software for REX files. Open your REX file, then use File → Export and select WAV as the output format.
• Reason Studios Reason: Import the REX file into a track, then export the audio using File → Export Song as Audio File and choose WAV.
• DAWs with REX support (e.g., Ableton Live, FL Studio): Import the REX file, arrange it as needed, then use File → Export or Render to save as a WAV file.
