Changing Sound Formats

When you open a file or create a new window, the format for the window is shown on the status bar at the bottom of the program window:

What do you want to do?

Change a file's sample rate

Change a file's bit-depth

Convert a file from stereo to mono (or mono to stereo)

You can change status formats quickly by right-clicking any of the status boxes and choosing a new value from the shortcut menu, or using the Format tab on the Properties dialog.
