Re: [sc-users] [ot] new 24-bit wav file format



for example peak.

Yes, I noticed that as well.

What advantages exist to using this format instead of chunk size of 4
bytes and a typical frames count ?

who knows?  really seems like a mistake, in the end.

anyway, marantz has finally offered a fix -- you can send the unit back to them, and they will perform an upgrade that will allow it to record in both the 'old' and 'new' wav 24-bit formats.

Is SuperCollider's parser affected by this in any way, for example
loading these type of files into teh buffers ??

it seems to behave as if it were a normal wav file. as you see from a few posts, the file appears to be 'right', or it opens 'just fine' in a few programs, including libsndfile. in fact, it has a nice new layer of noise that would not be in the file if it were a 16-bit wav or if it were transferred via adc/dac.

thanks for your help, everyone,
