How do I convert a Simple Sound file to a .WAV file?

Since I have a Mac Mini (w/Intel CPU) I don't have a built-in microphone.
I do, however, have an OS 9.1 Wall Street Powerbook with a built-in mike.
I'd like to send voicemail to friends who use Windows XP
I used Simple Sound to record a message on the Powerbook and e-mailed
it to myself. Now what? IMovieHD will apparently (according to Pogue) convert the sound portion of a movie to .WAV but when I open a New Project in IMovieHD my sound file is ghosted.
Is there an app in Tiger that will convert the sound (voice) file? Or perhaps some freeware app out there?

Hi, gwgoldb.
USB microphones are very inexpensive. I'd suggest getting one of those and simply doing the recording on your new Mac Mini.
For recording:
• You could use the previously-suggested freeware Audacity to record and save the recording as .wav. Note Audacity isn't a Universal Binary at this time, so it would run under Rosetta.
• Use QuickTime Pro for recording and converting (export) the recording to .wav. Some people balk at paying US$ 29.99 for a QuickTime Pro key, but I find it does a nice job in basic recording, converting audio/video, and basic A/V editing, all with the simplicity of the QuickTime interface.
Good luck!

How can we convert .mov ( implemented by quicktime APi) to .WAV file

Hi,
How can we convert one .MOV audio file (generated by quicktime API) to .WAV audio file ( need LINER - encoding format).
Here I dont know the encoding format of .MOV audio input file.
regards,
Rams

I wonder why this happens? The "unable to handle.." really does come out twice. Is it because the inputfile.mov which I wanna convert comes from the merging oftwo wave files? If so, then how can I convert this into single wave file? Thank you.That is a weird message, but yes, the .mov file probably stored the 2 original WAV files as 2 tracks of data, rather than 1 track. So whenever it's trying to transcode to a WAV file, it fails to transcode both tracks.
As for fixing it... I dunno. I know that JavaSound can mix two WAV files at the sample-level, so it actually mixes the sound instead of adding 2 tracks to a file...but I don't know why that's giving you those error messages, unless perhaps it's trying to transcode the video track into an audio track (perhaps the code isn't smart enough to handle transcoding a video file into an audio file? You'd have to check the code to see if that's the case...)

How do i convert a garage band recording into a wav file?

I made a recording in Garage Band that I need upload to a particular website, but it only accepts wav files.
Supported WAV formats:
- Mono is preferable to stereo, but stereo is accepted.
- 8000Hz, 16-bit, PCM, mono is the recommended format.
- 44,100Hz, 16-bit, PCM is also supported
- mp3 files are NOT supported
Does anyone know how to do this? I went on You Tube which says to send to iTunes selecting WAV, but it does not seem to be working. Any suggestions?
Andrea

GB doesn't export .wav files. Sharet he file to disk as an uncompressed AIFF file, then use iTunes to convert it to .wav. (Go to iTunes' import settings and select .wav.)

How can I convert an AiFF File to a Wav file?

How can I convert an AiFF File to a Wav file?
Any free software out there? or can iTunes or Quicktime perform this task?
-D

or can iTunes or Quicktime perform this task?
Yes to both.
In Quicktime Export -> Export Sound to Wave
In iTunes, check your preferences for General>Import and then right click on the file to convert to WAV
Also STP can do that.
Double click the file to open it in the File Editor and Save as, then select Wave as the filetype.

Record audio file in a wav file format using QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows?

Is it possible to record audio file in a wav file format using QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows? The system I want to upload audio files that I record to requires they be in a wav file format / PCM - 112025kh / 8 bit mono / 11.05khz
Something tells me no...and I bought this upgrade for nothing...GRRRRRRR

QuickTime Pro for Windows allows you to make audio recordings from some input devices.
You can then "export" these new files to .wav format at any setting you choose.

How to use Lightroom 5 [was: 6] to transfer related .WAV files for VISIBLE display next to my Nikon D4s NEFs?

Please help me. The ability to do this crucial to my workflow as a photojournalist and columnist.
Today I discovered that I have a serious problem when I tried to use Lightroom 5 to transfer my RAW images and their associated .WAV files from my Nikon D4s memory card. I did a search online and found that a Canon user has this same problem:
Part way through the transfer a message box appeared on-screen telling me: "Some import functions were not performed. These files are not photos or videos," followed by a list of all of the .WAV files.
I rely on those audio files to remind me of things that I need to know about for my column with regards to the associated photos. Sometimes I even use those short audio files to record sound effects.
I am using a Mac running on the new Yosemite operating system.
I like the fact that Lightroom does not do destructive editing vis a vis the added description and other metadata, as opposed to Nikon transfer which apparently does do "destructive editing," but I've been using Nikon Transfer 2 and, before that, previous versions of this program for years. I have never had an issue with corrupted photos due to the transfer process. This is a significant drawback for me of Lightroom 5.
Surely many, if not most, people at Adobe use Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras, so why would they allow such a serious flaw to be in Lightroom 5?
Am I missing a step that will eliminate this problem or is there a workaround for it?
Thank you for your help.

I entered the Library drop-down menu, clicked on "Find" and typed .wav in the search window. Lo and behold, only the 13 photos that had associated .WAV audio files were then visible in Library view.
Hmm, I wouldn't have guessed that would work. It doesn't work in my LR 5.7 -- it doesn't find any photos with associated .wav files. I wonder what's different about your situation. In your Library Filter bar, when you do Library > Find, what appears in the two red circles below?
In my previous message, I was referring to the third-party plugins Data Explorer and Any Filter but forgot to include the links. Though the two plugins are quite a bit different, they each give you the ability to specifically search for associated files with a given extension.

How do I convert a (sharp) bitmap logo in a Word file into a sharp logo in a PDF?

I saw the help article that described creating a logo with Microsoft Powerpoint, saving it as a Windows meta file (.wmf) and then inserting the graphics into Word. I suppose that means that Word CAN support vector graphics? I am trying to get my graphics design person to send me a vector version of the logo. In the mean time, how come you can not start with a sharp bitmapped image in Word and get an equally sharp image after it is converted to a PDF? Surely doing that is just basic? It's not like Adobe does not know how to manipulate and image? I just don't get it. I tried changing the presets to <Print> quality, but no dice. I can not seem to get word to lose no data when I reduce the size of pictures either, so go figure. Thanks in advance for your help.

It is not sharp when you see it in word, it only appears sharp due to the limited resolution you are viewing at and your distance from the screen. Logos should be made from vector graphics so they can print at any needed resolution and look as good as they can. Bitmaps can look great if they are customized for a specific resolution, but any scaling will ruin it.

In PI how do I convert the XML payload (input) to a text file and send out

I am extracting data from SAP and sending thru XI / PI to a file (non-sap system).
On the receiving end, I need the file to be a text file, with one row for each "FTZ_Row concatenated_data" tag in the input. It needs to be just a plain text file with no XML tags.
Currently the file gets one record which matches exactly to the XML payload below.
I want it to create a file that looks like this :
           CONCATENATED DATA 1
           CONCATENATED DATA 2
            012345678912345678MAKTX-TEST LB 123123123123 01/02/2009 Z001WCHA9876543210.12
here is the payload going thru XI
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <n0:FTZ_Concatenated_Row xmlns:n0="http://intel.com/xi/INTEL_PROCUREMENT/ForeignTradeZone" xmlns:prx="urn:sap.com:proxy:FI0:/1SAI/TAS0C0412CDBC3E782D0219:700:2008/06/25">

</n0:FTZ_Concatenated_Row>
thanks

thanks for the input but I am still having issues - I get an empty file when I use the content conversion option.
My payload coming into XI is :

</n0:FTZ_Concatenated_Row>
Here is the layout of my data type - I am using the same for input & output

            </xsd:complexType>
         </xsd:element>
      </xsd:sequence>
   </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
I mapped these items : FTZ_Concatenated_Row & FTZ_Row & concatenated_data
I set up my content convesion with :
recordset structure   FTZ_Row
FTZ_Row.fieldSeparator     #
FTZ_Row.endSeparator     'nl'
I am not sure why the following row looks like this ??
    <FTZ_Row concatenated_data="CONCATENATED DATA 1" />
I thought FTZ_Row would be one tag and "concatenated_data" would be another one.
any help would be appreciated.
I have read many entries/blogs/etc in SDN but and tried many different setups, but nothing is working.

Hello,
> It coped much better with my Draw documents than the older version
Normally, I have added many functionnalities, retrieving the bitmap, gradient, ... But there remains some problem when a group/frame shares some shapes and a picture or when a shape crosses differents pages, the result can be become bad, ...
> a number of lines missing on page 3
I suspect there are here, ie. if you select in page 3 the big gray square with two ellipses and remove it, there seem to reappear ( I do not know why this square insists to hide the other shapes even when I put it in background, ....)
> the lines are very much thicker than they should be
All objects are thicker than they should be, mainly because I need to create a embedded Odg for each shapes. This will change in LibreOffice 4.3 because we have added in the parent library of libmwaw, functions to create shapes directly ; at least for line, rectangle, ellipse, probably not for other shapes...
> I can add that to my page when it gets out of beta, (Perhaps you could announce it in this forum as it is relevant to AW and I don't want to keep checking the LO website.)
Ok, I will try to add a message when LibreOffice 4.2 will appear ( note: as I only write an extension used in LibreOffice, I also do not keep checking the LO website, I only check now and then that all is working ).

Fixing sesx files after included wav files were renamed?

In a fit of year-end house-keeping, I embarked on a renaming campaign of hordes of classical concert recordings: from their original naming convention "ABCddmmyyyy.wav" to the format "ABCyyyymmdd.wav", which I find more helpful for search purposes.
It was an easy fix to do a bulk rename of all the file folders and their accumulation of wav, pk, pkf, cdl, flac, mp3 and cue files (remembering to adjust the filenames referenced inside the cue's), but I'm struggling on how to tidy up and retain valid sesx files (with AA CS6). Typically such a session file may have several long, simultaneous, parallel stereo tracks, e.g.: "ABCddmmyyyy.ORTF.wav", "ABCddmmyyyy.AB.wav", "ABCddmmyyyy_XY-soloists.wav" etc , to which convoluted volume envelopes had been painstakingly applied. How best can I update the sesx to reflect the renaming? .I'm not keen on having to re-import the renamed files and lose the volume envelopes?...or is it possible to copy volume envelopes from an old track to a fresh track? Thanks.

Thanks, ryclark, that did the trick perfectly!
I had noticed that there actually was a 'rename' option from within the AA CS6 program, but it was unclear exactly what changes would then be getting made...and whether the absolute file paths would be respected.
