# The sound alone

> **Sound only** gives you everything heard in your video, voice, music and sounds mixed, as one WAV file.

## Export the sound

1. Open your video and press **Export**.
1. Pick **Sound only**. The window says « Just what is heard » and about how big the file will be.
1. Press **Export**. The WAV goes to your Downloads, named after your video.

## The file you get

|  | Sound only |
|---|---|
| Format | WAV, not compressed |
| Channels | Stereo |
| Quality | 48,000 samples a second, 16 bits |

> **Sound with the video, in WAV?** In the Mac app, a video can carry WAV sound: it then goes in a MOV file. [Export settings and presets](/docs/desktop/export)

## Questions

### Can I get the voice and the music as separate files?

No: Sound only gives one file, everything mixed as you hear it in the video.

### Why does the Free plan show the upgrade window for a sound?

On Free, Export always opens that window first. Press **Export with the mark**: the sound itself has no mark.

### Can I close the page while it is made?

In Chrome, Edge or Brave on a computer, keep it open until it's done. In Safari, Firefox or on a phone, Montage makes it and you can close the page.
