Part 1 How to Convert Audio?
Before we start listing the best audio converters down, we’ve prepared a bit of an overview for you! With this first part being a tutorial for how to use an audio converter! The example that we’ll be using is the 6th of the audio converters on our list, but it’s also the most general one. So, even if you decide to choose another, you should still be able to learn from this tutorial!
**Step 1: Launch The Audio Converter!
The first step in any conversion, of course, is to have it all primed for conversion! The free audio converter that we’ll be using as our example is an online one, so there is no actual ‘launching’ but one must open it up anyway through the link provided!
**Step 2: Upload Audio File!
The next general step is to ‘Upload’ the audio file that you want to convert. Usually, this can be done either by making use of the drag-and-drop function or selecting the ‘UPLOAD’ function that will allow you to browse your device for the audio file.
**Step 3: Select Output Format!
The next general step is to select the output format for the file that you want to convert! You can usually choose a whole array of formats for this: MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC, WMA, M4R, AIFF, MMF, OPUS, MIDI, etc.
**Step 4: Start Conversion!
Once the output format has been chosen, you can proceed with initializing the conversion! Usually, this is as simple as selecting ‘CONVERT’.
**Step 5: Download or Save File!
Once the conversion has been completed, your audio converter will either give you an option to ‘DOWNLOAD’ or ‘SAVE’ the finished product to your device!
Part 2 How we tested the best audio converter software?
In order to make sure that we are providing the ultimate list of audio converters out there, we’ve tested every single one on this list (and then some!) We played around with the settings, tried out all compatible formats, determined their efficiency, intuitiveness, extra features, and so much more!
Part 3 Essential Features of Audio Converter Software
There are three essential features that one needs to consider to decide which is the best audio converter software for them:
● Input Formats and Output Formats: These are the most basic of the basic when it comes to requirements, but it’s notable regardless! After all, if your audio converter ends up being so limited that it is incapable of converting some of the more obscure formats out there, you might find it useless in the future.
● Conversion Speed: No one has the time to spend endlessly on their computer to wait for a file to convert. Everything has a deadline! So, the speed of conversion is definitely something to consider.
● Bonus Features: What other features does this audio converter have in store for you? Will it allow you to create playlists? Trim your audio? Merge your audio? You might find some of these features to be not useful at this moment in time. But, you never know!

Before we start listing the best audio converters down, we’ve prepared a bit of an overview for you! With this first part being a tutorial for how to use an audio converter! The example that we’ll be using is the 6th of the audio converters on our list, but it’s also the most general one. So, even if you decide to choose another, you should still be able to learn from this tutorial!
**Step 1: Launch The Audio Converter!
The first step in any conversion, of course, is to have it all primed for conversion! The free audio converter that we’ll be using as our example is an online one, so there is no actual ‘launching’ but one must open it up anyway through the link provided!
**Step 2: Upload Audio File!
The next general step is to ‘Upload’ the audio file that you want to convert. Usually, this can be done either by making use of the drag-and-drop function or selecting the ‘UPLOAD’ function that will allow you to browse your device for the audio file.
**Step 3: Select Output Format!
The next general step is to select the output format for the file that you want to convert! You can usually choose a whole array of formats for this: MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC, WMA, M4R, AIFF, MMF, OPUS, MIDI, etc.
**Step 4: Start Conversion!
Once the output format has been chosen, you can proceed with initializing the conversion! Usually, this is as simple as selecting ‘CONVERT’.
**Step 5: Download or Save File!
Once the conversion has been completed, your audio converter will either give you an option to ‘DOWNLOAD’ or ‘SAVE’ the finished product to your device!
Part 2 How we tested the best audio converter software?
In order to make sure that we are providing the ultimate list of audio converters out there, we’ve tested every single one on this list (and then some!) We played around with the settings, tried out all compatible formats, determined their efficiency, intuitiveness, extra features, and so much more!
Part 3 Essential Features of Audio Converter Software
There are three essential features that one needs to consider to decide which is the best audio converter software for them:
● Input Formats and Output Formats: These are the most basic of the basic when it comes to requirements, but it’s notable regardless! After all, if your audio converter ends up being so limited that it is incapable of converting some of the more obscure formats out there, you might find it useless in the future.
● Conversion Speed: No one has the time to spend endlessly on their computer to wait for a file to convert. Everything has a deadline! So, the speed of conversion is definitely something to consider.
● Bonus Features: What other features does this audio converter have in store for you? Will it allow you to create playlists? Trim your audio? Merge your audio? You might find some of these features to be not useful at this moment in time. But, you never know!

Step 1. Double-click the video in the timeline and then check the Motion Tracking box.

2. Color Match

Step 1. Color correct one video in the timeline like how you’d typically color correct any other video.
Step 2. Place the playback line on the video you color corrected and then select the other videos you want to color correct.
Step 3. On the toolbar, click the color icon, and a drop-down menu will appear from which you’ll have to click on Color Match. After a new window opens, you can adjust the level of color correction however, you wish.
If you feel the colors don’t match, you can open the Comparison Preview and use the slider to adjust the colors.
3. Audio Ducking
If you want to temporarily reduce one audio track volume so that another is more audible, use audio ducking. You can use it in videos where you want to decrease the volume of music when someone starts speaking to hear them better. Here are the steps:
Step 1. Select the audio track you want to make more audible.
Step 2. Right-click on it and click on Adjust Audio.
Step 3. Check the “lower the volume of other clips” box.
Step 4. Once you press OK, the volume of every other audio track will be lowered. You can adjust the ducking level to achieve your desired effect.

If you want to add even more pizzazz to your videos, then why not look into other powerful features like motion tracking, color match, and audio ducking? They may sound complicated, but in reality, they’re easy to use.
1. Motion Tracking
his feature lets you track objects in your videos so that other objects can move along with them. If you have a video in which you want to make it look like you have wings and you’re flying, then you can align the movement of the wings with the movement of your body using the motion tracking feature. Here are the steps you need to take to track objects:
Step 1. Double-click the video in the timeline and then check the Motion Tracking box.
Step 2. Place the Target Box over the object you want to track and click Start Tracking.
Step 3. Select the media that you want to move with the tracked object. Remember that this media already has to be in the timeline.
Step 4. Adjust the size or position of whatever media you selected in the previous step.
2. Color Match
Wondershare video editor for Mac also lets you color correct multiple videos as a batch. If you have videos that have similar lighting and you want to change their colors quickly to make them consistent, then you should use color match. Here’s how you can use it:
Step 1. Color correct one video in the timeline like how you’d typically color correct any other video.
Step 2. Place the playback line on the video you color corrected and then select the other videos you want to color correct.
Step 3. On the toolbar, click the color icon, and a drop-down menu will appear from which you’ll have to click on Color Match. After a new window opens, you can adjust the level of color correction however, you wish.
If you feel the colors don’t match, you can open the Comparison Preview and use the slider to adjust the colors.
3. Audio Ducking
If you want to temporarily reduce one audio track volume so that another is more audible, use audio ducking. You can use it in videos where you want to decrease the volume of music when someone starts speaking to hear them better. Here are the steps:
Step 1. Select the audio track you want to make more audible.
Step 2. Right-click on it and click on Adjust Audio.
Step 3. Check the “lower the volume of other clips” box.
Step 4. Once you press OK, the volume of every other audio track will be lowered. You can adjust the ducking level to achieve your desired effect.
Mastering these three features will make your videos stand out, so spend some time playing around with them.
Conclusion
Editing GoPro videos on Mac can be confusing, but it isn’t as difficult as people make it out. Find the video editing software that will make all tasks easy for you, and you’re good to go.

Part 3: What are the limitations when using Sony Vegas (Vegas Pro) on Mac?
Yes, with the given Sony Vegas alternatives, Mac and Windows users can benefit heavily. But why is it important to try for a replacement when Sony Vegas Pro is relatively efficient software?
To know the answer, you should take the time to understand its limitations, which do exist.
It only works for Windows users
The Sony Vegas Pro software is not available for Mac or other operating systems besides Windows. In addition, it’ll be really complex and time-consuming, even if you opt for virtual machine software or handle dual booting techniques to configure the software on your Mac or Linux.
You need to invest in other hardware
Sony Vegas Pro does do not work within one comprehensive platform like other capable video editing software types, like Wondershare Filmora . You have to acquire a powerful PC and tools to operate it separately. The software works very slowly on older devices.
Not incredibly unique
The functions of Sony Vegas Pro match somewhat with other options in the market. So, users would not expect much value in purchasing this software’s plans that they want to upgrade from their previous system, but on the other hand, the available features are mostly standard-level in functionality as well.
Hot FAQs about Vegas Pro Alternatives
After knowing these details, many users still have specific common queries about opting for a Sony Vegas Pro alternatively. So these are some common FAQs about this- answered.
1. Can Sony Vegas be used on a Mac?
No, it is impossible to directly use Sony Vegas on macOS devices since it does not support it. Instead, you have to separately use a dual boot strategy or virtual machine software to activate the video editor on Mac devices, but the process for that is complex.
2. Is Wondershare Filmora or Vegas Pro better?
Wondershare Filmora and Vegas Pro are top-level options in video and audio editing projects with professional-level editing accuracy. However, Filmora has a cohesive ecosystem with rich AI and standard functions and comes with Mac/Windows support. So, in that sense, Filmora is comparatively a better choice.
Final Words
In place of Sony Vegas Pro, any of these options would also give you a great user experience. Out of them, Filmora is one that we will recommend due to its multi-faceted benefits and features for Mac and Windows users. Ultimately, make your decision based on your particular needs.

Part 3: What are the limitations when using Sony Vegas (Vegas Pro) on Mac?
Yes, with the given Sony Vegas alternatives, Mac and Windows users can benefit heavily. But why is it important to try for a replacement when Sony Vegas Pro is relatively efficient software?
To know the answer, you should take the time to understand its limitations, which do exist.
It only works for Windows users
The Sony Vegas Pro software is not available for Mac or other operating systems besides Windows. In addition, it’ll be really complex and time-consuming, even if you opt for virtual machine software or handle dual booting techniques to configure the software on your Mac or Linux.
You need to invest in other hardware
Sony Vegas Pro does do not work within one comprehensive platform like other capable video editing software types, like Wondershare Filmora . You have to acquire a powerful PC and tools to operate it separately. The software works very slowly on older devices.
Not incredibly unique
The functions of Sony Vegas Pro match somewhat with other options in the market. So, users would not expect much value in purchasing this software’s plans that they want to upgrade from their previous system, but on the other hand, the available features are mostly standard-level in functionality as well.
Hot FAQs about Vegas Pro Alternatives
After knowing these details, many users still have specific common queries about opting for a Sony Vegas Pro alternatively. So these are some common FAQs about this- answered.
1. Can Sony Vegas be used on a Mac?
No, it is impossible to directly use Sony Vegas on macOS devices since it does not support it. Instead, you have to separately use a dual boot strategy or virtual machine software to activate the video editor on Mac devices, but the process for that is complex.
2. Is Wondershare Filmora or Vegas Pro better?
Wondershare Filmora and Vegas Pro are top-level options in video and audio editing projects with professional-level editing accuracy. However, Filmora has a cohesive ecosystem with rich AI and standard functions and comes with Mac/Windows support. So, in that sense, Filmora is comparatively a better choice.
Final Words
In place of Sony Vegas Pro, any of these options would also give you a great user experience. Out of them, Filmora is one that we will recommend due to its multi-faceted benefits and features for Mac and Windows users. Ultimately, make your decision based on your particular needs.
