16 bit wav

Hello.
I want to give out som music and i have a master cd with 16 bit wav. How do i do it??

Ah - I can use the bitshift operator to shift the big byte's double value 8 to the left, then just add this to the small byte's double value. Endianess defines which is the small and which is the big byte.

HELP - 88.2 k 24-bit wav file is slowing down when imported to garageband

i have an 88.2 k 24-bit wav file that is slowing down when imported to garageband. How do i get around this problem?

You need to convert it to 44.1 16 bit. You can do that with iTunes.

Can't use my 32 bit wave files

hej,
I switched to Mac not long ago.
I now have Logic express and it can't import the 32 bit wave files i recorded with my mackie onyx, back when i was working on PC with Samplitude.
Is there an easy way to make it work fine, straight from Logic Express...? Or any other way using another programm ?
Thanks helping...

Hi, you should use a samplerateconverter to convert to 24 Bit.
A nice free Batchconverter is AudioMove v1.14:

Logic X won't import a 64 bit .wav file. Why?

I'm trying to import .wav files created with FF Tools into Logic for some editing, but it says the audio file is "in a 64 bit format and cannot be used". Why is this? I thought Logic X was 64-bit friendly?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There is also no point in using 64 bit audio files. Even 32 bit floating point is already overkill. The best choice for recording is 24 bit, for internal processing 64 bit floating point does make sense, but not for storing.
In any case, your mac comes with a very capable audio file format converting utility that can be used from the command line and reads/writes practically any audio file format you will encounter, including 64 bit wav. Type "afconvert" on your command line in terminal.app to see the options it offers. If you're not used to using the command line you might find this very uncomfortable, but it's really worth getting into it.
Let me know if you need help,

Garageband seeing 16 bit wav files as 8 bit.

I am using Garage band 11. I have a session with speech and music. I came back to edit it and it would not open saying the audio was 8 bit. It was not it was wav and 44.1/16 bit. I opened the package contents and checked the wav files and they played fine. So how and why did Garageband suddenly see then as 8 bit?
I lost my whole session.
And ideas

aiff not wav

i don't know the "why," but all is not lost yet.
create a new project and drop the audio file into the timeline of the new project. if it really is a 44.1k 16-bit aiff file, then it should import into the new project.

Emu volume too high on MIDP 16 bit wavs

Hi, I've written a program that renders to a 16 bit (signed) wav stream in memory.
It sounds fine on the phone....but when I play it back though the emulor it distorts horribly unless I divide the volume by about 4 while playing.
If I export the file and look at it in an wave editor it looks fine. I've run the java code under windows and it sounds fint there too.
So the only thing that's distorting the sound is the toolkit.
This happens on all the generic phone types as well as all the SE phone toolkits.
Does anybody know what's happening here, doesn't seem right at all.
Thanks
Dave

Thanks for reply. Surely, but SURELY the emu can play 16 bit sound properly!!! Isn't it just a basic windows thing!
It's a shame, because the emu is fairly good at everything else. It's something easy to fix, no?

16 bit WAV file

Hi everyone. Im trying to understand something about WAV files (or rather about how 16 bit audio works).
a 16 bit sample has values from -32768 to 32767.
If 0 is the zero crossing then what do you do with this asymmetry?
There are 32767 "pos" values but 32768 "neg" values.
Wouldnt it have been better for them to throw out that last 32768th value?
Sorry if i have this all wrong. Im just imaging a waveform and wondering why the values above and below the zero crossing arent equal.

no worries Jon I was dragging the destination into the window when there was no need cheers

Why won't Logic split imported 24 bit wav files?

I've got "Force Interleaved files to split" checked but Logic won't do it with 24bit wav files,( it will with 16bit). Also, it won't let me use the crosssfade tool until I copy the file and change it to a split 24 bit file.
I've got the driver set to SDII, 24bit, 44.1.
What gives?

...anybody?
This can't only be happening to me.

Audio bit depth settings?

Hi Everyone,
I have used AME for video, but now I have audio files that have to go through it. I am taking a audio format and making a preset for it to become a .mp3. I can see that I can only set the kbps. The kHz sampling rate of 44.1 is fine, but I need to set bit depth to either 16 or 24. I have looked everywhere and can't find a setting for bit depth for just audio. Am I missing a setting?
I get the feeling that AME was made for video, but not for pure audio...is that the case? When I have used it for video I had a ton of options, but for video very few.
Thanks so much!
Laurie

Your (constructive) comments are accepted here but if you are trying to get Apple's ear about feature requests, use the feedback link http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
One comment, the Import options are ALSO for converting between formats within iTunes so, while you cannot convert TO a 24 bit WAV, you can convert FROM a song encoded in 24 bit to a more iPod friendly format.

Using wdm driver for 24-bit out

I'm trying to modify a visual c++ program to play 24-bit wave files using an Audigy LS. (I had been using a 6-bit SB Li've.) I recoded to use DirectSound rather than Playsound. How do I get my program to use the wdm (Directx) driver, which I'm told I need for 24-bit output?

HI, I am having trouble when importing .wav files into logic.

Everytime I import this .wav file of a DJ set i recorded, it shows me the waveform but no sound comes out when its played. I have tried converting the bitrate to 16bit and the filetype to aiff as I saw it had helped people with similar problems but when i do this its boosts the gain massivly and the recrding becomes very distored? Really dont know what to try??
Also the reason I am trying to get the Wav in was bevause i need to normalise it as it had to be recorded very quitely to avoid distortion on the recording. I recorded it by using the imput on the back of my monitors as they are usb, and th programme i used to record it is "audio recorder tool" from the app store
Thanks for your help, Joe

I think the problem is you're recorded 32-bit wav files which Logic doesn't support.
(don't convert to aiff, unless you have the right program, that understands converting little endian 32 bit wavs to big endian aiff format, you will get distortion)
I think your best bet is to download "Audacity" the free audio editor and convert to 24-bit WAV files. Re-save the audio file under a different name after converting. In Audacity this is done using the Export function, selecting other non-compressed formats.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac
The reason you want 24-bit WAVs to work with is you're going to be raising the volume of the file, 24-bit files will suffer less damage when editing with plugins, normalizing...etc.

24-bit audio files converted to 16-bit in Logic Pro 7

Hello,
I'm working on producing my band's demo and this is my first project in Logic Pro 7. The tracks were originally recorded into a Fostex D2424LV hard disc recorder as 24-bit wave files, then imported into Logic. At this point, I've done the editing and effects processing in Logic and exported the tracks as individual wave files, with the intent to put the tracks back on the Fostex and run them through a Yamaha 24-channel analog board for the final mixdown.
Everything has gone smooth until now. When I play the exported tracks back on the Fostex, most of them are peaking on the meters, while the same tracks played back in Logic don't even come close to peaking. I've tried re-exporting the tracks with reduced fader levels and still get peaks on the Fostex.
Given that the reduced levels still cause tracks to peak on the Fostex, I'm suspecting a bit-depth issue. I didn't realize at the time that the files were converted to 16-bit when they were imported into Logic. The Fostex only works with 24-bit files and I'm wondering if exporting the 16-bit tracks in Logic as 24-bit wave files might be causing the problem.
If this turns out to be the cause of the peaking tracks, is it possible to re-import or replace the converted 16-bit files with the original 24-bit files and apply the editing and efx processing that I've done to the 24-bit files?
I'll greatly appreciate any help you folks can give me on this one.

i am very surprised that the fostex doesn't work with 24-bit files.
your peaking is not likely to be due to bit depth, although i can see why you might think so. maybe you're right.
logic has inbuilt -6db of head room you should know.
your suggestion of reimporting the original tracks from the fostex is exactly the thing you should do. remove the 16-bit files from the system and re-import the fostex files. open the logic project and it will look for the old files. for greatest ease make sure your fostex imported files have the same names as the ones you are removing. when it finds the files with the same name it should come up with an error message. select use anyway.
what's happening is logic stores information about the file, its length, bit-depth and so forth. so just get logic to use anyway and the files "should" playback alright.

.Wav playback muffled until I toggle bass volume contr

I have been recording my vinyl collection to 24 bit .Wav, and am generally very happy with the results. However, there is one annoyance. When I go to playback my .Wav files they sound muffled, until I toggle the bass volume control under the volume controls, then the sound opens up and sounds great. It's pretty much just an oddity, but also kind of bothersome. I've reinstalled the drivers because I thought maybe I had a conflict with an audio editor program, but I have since uninstalled it as well. Any clue?
Thanks.

How to return Firefox to playing .wav files without the vlc plug-in?

Win XP, Firefox 33.11. In an html document are links to PCM, 16 bit .wav files and
other links to .mp3 files. Opening the document with Firefox and clicking on an .mp3 link
plays in the `native' Firefox player OK. However clicking on a .wav link seemed to fail to
play. Using Tool/Options/Applications, wav files were associated with VLC. Now clicking
on a .wav link plays OK in a Firefox screen displaying the vlc logo.
However, later the following was found this under the Firefox help information
"Firefox can play the WAV container format (.wav, .wave file types) containing uncompressed
audio in PCM at 8 or 16 bits per sample".
It seems the .wav files should play with the `native' Firefox player.
How can the link to vlc be removed. Removing the plug-in is not a solution as it is used
for many other file types.

Firefox will only use the HTML5 media player when the AUDIO tag is used.
If EMBED or OBJECT is used then Firefox will always use a plugin.
