Why archive dj sets in lossless?
A 2-hour live set recorded at 44.1kHz/16bit WAV is about 1.2GB. The same recording in FLAC is around 700-800MB — a 30-40% reduction. Over a year of weekly gigs, that's tens of gigabytes saved. FLAC compression is completely lossless — you can convert back to WAV at any time and get a bit-for-bit identical file. It's the standard archival format for audio professionals, supported by every major DAW and player.

Frequently asked questions
- Is FLAC really lossless?
- Yes, mathematically lossless. Converting WAV → FLAC → WAV produces a bit-identical file to the original. It's like ZIP compression for audio — smaller file, identical data.
- How much space will I save?
- Typically 30-50% depending on the audio content. Dense, loud mixes compress less than dynamic sets with quiet passages. A 1.2GB WAV set usually becomes 700-900MB in FLAC.
