Three tips:

1.If you hope the mp3 files extracted from YouTube video become more mellow and fair-sounding, you have to learn the audio setting parameter of Wondershare FLV Converter:

Sample Rate: In developing an audio sound for computers or telecommunication, the sample rate is the number of samples of a sound that are taken per second to represent the event digitally.

The more samples taken per second, the more accurate the digital representation of the sound can be. For example, the current sample rate for CD-quality audio is 44,100 samples per second. This sample rate can accurately reproduce the audio frequencies up to 20,500 hertz, covering the full range of human hearing.

Channel: Set the number of output channels to nchannels. A value of 1 indicates monophonic sound, 2 stereophonic. Some devices may have more than 2 channels, and some high-end devices may not support mono. Returns the number of channels the device was set to.
Bit rate: Bit rate is generally measured as the number of “bits per second” (bps) at which the data in an audio is being delivered. A higher bit rate means that the audio has more information.

2.How to trim the audio extracted from YouTube video?
If you only want the wonderful part of the audio in the YouTube video, it’s easy. Click the ‘edit’ button and the popups like below:

And then, you can intercept your favorite parts of the audio via setting ‘start time’ and ‘end time’ manually or drawing the time shaft directly.
