Settings

Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.
Adjust the audio volume by selecting a number of decibels. For example, -10 dB decreases the volume by 10 decibels.

cvsd

CVSD (Continuously Variable Slope Delta modulation) is a voice digitization method standardized for military and telephony use by NATO and the CCITT during the 1970s. It encodes differences between consecutive samples as a single bit — 1 if the current sample exceeds the prediction, 0 otherwise — while a syllabic companding filter adjusts step size by monitoring runs of identical bits. Operating at 16 to 64 kbps, CVSD balances voice intelligibility against bandwidth, making it the encoding of choice for secure military links and tactical radio systems. The bitstream can be decoded with straightforward hardware, originally built into dedicated integrated circuits. One advantage is implementation simplicity — encoders and decoders need minimal resources, enabling real-time processing on low-power embedded hardware. Robustness under noisy conditions is another strength, as single-bit errors affect only local samples rather than corrupting entire frames. SoX provides software encoding and decoding support, letting modern systems work with legacy CVSD recordings from military archives and vintage telecommunications infrastructure.

tta

TTA (True Audio) is a real-time lossless audio compression codec developed by Aleksander Djourik, with its origins tracing back to the early 2000s. The format reconstructs the original PCM stream bit-for-bit upon decoding, guaranteeing that no sonic detail is lost during storage or transfer. TTA handles standard CD-quality audio as well as high-resolution content up to 32-bit integer samples, making it suitable for everyday listening and professional archiving alike. Processing speed is one of TTA's defining strengths — the codec achieves fast encoding and decoding without heavy CPU demands, keeping it lightweight even on older hardware. The file structure supports ID3v1, ID3v2, and APEv2 metadata tags, so track information and album art travel with the audio. Hardware support appeared in several portable players, giving TTA a practical edge over some competing lossless formats. The open-source reference implementation ships under the GNU GPL, encouraging community adoption and third-party integrations. While newer codecs like FLAC have captured a larger share of the lossless audio landscape, TTA continues to serve users who value its simplicity and transparent compression.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of converting CVSD to TTA?

CVSD is a narrow telephony codec with minimal modern support. Converting to TTA gives you real-time lossless compression.

What programs can play TTA?

You can open TTA with Foobar2000, VLC, AIMP, and TTA codec plugins.

Does CVSD to TTA conversion affect quality?

TTA preserves audio data faithfully. Since CVSD already has limited fidelity, the TTA output matches the original quality exactly.

Does this converter work on mobile devices?

Absolutely. Since conversion happens in the browser, any device with internet access and a modern browser will work.

How long does CVSD to TTA conversion take?

Most conversions finish within seconds. Processing time depends on recording length, but the cloud-based engine handles it quickly.

What if my CVSD recording is very long?

The converter handles recordings of various lengths. For very large or numerous files, premium plans provide extended capacity.
