SOU to VMS conversion is the process of transforming audio files in the SOU format into the VMS audio format so they can be played, edited, or distributed by software and devices that support VMS. The conversion typically remaps audio encoding, sampling and container specifics between the two formats while preserving as much original quality and metadata as possible.
