ConvertAndWrite has a bug, please refer to https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioClip.GetData.html var samples = new float[clip.samples]; should be fixed as var samples = new float[clip.samples * clip.channels];

This bug results to stereo files are saved with half duration.

GetData returns data, not 'samples'. In case of mono they are equal, but in case of stereo each sample is 2 bytes of data. To be correct, you should also rename 'samples' variable to 'data'.

Thanks you 👍. Helped me a lot.

This code is just what I needed for our current project. Thank you very much!
