  • How to edit wav files

    I've been using SoundTrack Pro 3 to edit WAV files, but I've now bought a sound recorder that creates 24bit 192kHz files. These are too big for SoundTrack, so I thought that Logic Pro would do the trick. So far I've had no success in trying to combine two files that are part of the same recording; the first segment is 3.9Gb and the second 4.27Gb.
    Can Logic Pro do this this, or will I need to ask for a refund and find some alternative software?
    Thanks
    Nick

    Why 192 KHz? Do you have a compelling reason to use this absurdly high sampling frequency? That is, are you recording bats, or dogwhistles? If not, I'd advise you to convert the files to 24/48 - that'll do for almost all situations. If you really, rea-heally want a high sampling frequency for (very subtle) quality difference (imperceptable but for (maybe) some of the best trained sensitive ears), you could go with 24/96. But again, 24/48 (or 24/44.1) will do. The 24 is much more important (significant diffence with 16)...

  • How do I edit wav files on my mac air?

    Hi Im new to the site and to mac. Can anyone help me edit a simple wav file on my mac air? I've found plenty of blogs which say I can use quick time app but when I open mine, there are no options to edit or do anything other than play and record. Confused!

    Hi lyndafromkingston,
    I see that you would like more information about editing files in QuickTime. Here is an article for you that can give you some steps to help you accomplish this:
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201066
    Editing content
    QuickTime Player lets you easily edit content you've created or downloaded. You can trim, combine, and rearrange clips. When you're done, just save or export your finished video.
    Trimming
    To remove unwanted footage from your media:
    Open the file in QuickTime Player.
    Choose Edit > Trim. The trimming bar appears.
    To select the portion of the recording you want to keep, drag the yellow trimming bar handles to the left and right as desired.
    When you are satisfied with your selection area, click Trim. The unwanted footage outside the the yellow trimming bar is removed.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • Editing wave-files created on the Zen Mi

    I read on http://www.radioandtelly.co.uk/zenmicro.html that files created on the Micro using the built-in microphone are sampled at 64kpbs, 4 bit, my recordings appear to be sampled at 256 kbps and a unknown bit rate. However, these files cannot be edited using Wavelab or Steinberg Clean, as the require a bit rate of at least 6 bit.
    How do you guys edit these files, what tools are you using?

    For me they're described by Windows as 64kbit/s, 4 bit, channel, 6Hz, IMA ADPCM.
    The freeware Audacity can open and edit them.

  • Why doesn't Garage Band use wav files?

    I would like to use Garage Band to edit wav files I have, but it won't recognize them - only seems to work with songs I imported from cassette tapes.  Why?

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I do have the option to use Total Recorder in Windows which I also have on my Mac. That is also free and I used it a lot when I had PC.  So guess that is the route I will take.  Just thought I would see if I could do it in Garage Band as the sound view is bigger than in TR, and also I wouldn't have to switch over to Windows.  By the way, does Audacity take up a lot of space on the hard drive?  I don't want to clog it up with too much stuff.

  • How do I open a Quicktime created wav file in other sound editing software?

    A friend sent me three wav files created in QuickTime but they won't open in ANY sound editing software or players I have other than Quicktime. I need to use these for an upcoming podcast but can't do anything with them until I can open them with my editing software (WavPad Sound Editing).
    Can someone please tell me how to do this?

    On a Windows system you can't. There is a plugin codec for WMV for the Mac version of QuickTime, but not for Windows. You'll need to use other software.
    Regards.

  • Editing 1.3 Gigabyte Wave File in GarageBand

    I have a 1.32 GB wave file that I want to edit in GarageBand. But it seems to be to big for Garageband. It is a speach that is recorded with 44.1 kHZ sample rate and 24 bits. It is about 70 minutes of recording.
    I imported the file and it plays, but when trying to insert a split, the part that should become region 2, disappears from the track, and leaves only region 1 in the track.
    I would like to edit the file and use parts of it in a CD project and other parts in a DVD project as movie scores.
    Anyone who has experience with such big files and how to split up one big region into smaller parts, of which some will could deleted?
    Secondly, what is the best way to produce CD/DVD after editing this file?
    I will be most grateful for help here.
    Macbook core 2 duo   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I would suggest that editing a file is best done with, well, an Audio Editor:

  • Streaming wav files once edited won't work in flash

    I need some help with streaming wav files in flash. I can load a wav file and stream it ok using actionscript 3 into my fla file. However if I go to edit the wav and make it shorter the saved wav file will not play. I have used a trial version of soundbooth to see if I could somehow change the settings for the wav but I still cannot make it work. It will stream as an mp3 but I want the file to loop and need the file to be wav. I have attached the file. I have no problem when I upload the file into the fla file but that is not what I want to do.
    Can anyone help me.
    Cheers.

    Thanks for the input however I had already tried a variety of combinations. But I did go through it again.
    The Flash Player supports 8-bit or 16-bit audio at sample rates of               5.512, 11.025, 22.05, or 44.1 kHz. I have tried all permutations of wav from 8 bit to 16bit and the all sampling rates from 11.025. The original file is attached at it was at 32000hz. Nothing I can do will make these play in flash once edited. I am using soundbooth howeve I have used audacity and wavepad. I have removed the metadata tags as that was suggested in one of the forums. I have attached the original files and the shortened file that I cannot get to work. I went into Soundbooth and went through all the preferences and checked the box where it asked for FLash compaticble at 16bit 44 hz etc. This is really frustrating. I know wav can be streamed.

  • Edit Multi-channel wav files?

    I'm working on an audio project where a roundtable discussion was recorded using multiple microphones split onto seven different audio channels in each wav file. Is there a way to bring these into a multi-track project in Soundtrack?
    Right now, I drag a wav file into the project, but the entire file (with seven lines of audio on the green bar) opens up on Track 1. I want to take all of the channels and spread them evenly 1-7, that way I can rename them and know who is on which channel.
    If anyone has any help, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    You could copy the file to seven different tracks, then right-click and select Channel select > Mono > channel #, choosing a different channel for each track.
    Hope that helps!

  • 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.

  • FLASH CS3[AS3] – MICROPHONE – RECORD AND SAVE AS WAVE FILE

    Hello Jeff,
    From the LabVIEW Help description:
    Sound File Write Simple (Windows, Linux)
    Writes data from an array of waveforms to a .wav file. This VI automatically opens, writes to, and closes the .wav file. Windows You must have DirectX 8.0 or later to use this VI. Linux You must have the Open Sound System (OSS) driver to use this VI.
    So, the data input to Sound File Write Simple.vi is an array of waveforms. However, if you only have one waveform, you can build an array that contains only your single waveform using the Build Array VI. As described in the LabVIEW Help description:
    Build Array
    Concatenates multiple arrays or appends elements to an n-dimensional array. You also can use the Replace Array Subset function to modify an existing array.
    So, for example, you could run your single waveform into the Build Array function and get an array of waveforms containing only your waveform. You could then wire this array of waveforms to the Sound File Write Simple.vi. This is shown in the image below.

  • P2 Audio render & replace yields mono .wav file

    I import some P2 footage (shot with an HVX200) and use the source channel mappings
    to map audio channels 1 and 2 to stereo and disable channels 3 and 4.  My sequence
    uses the DVCPROHD P2 720p preset with the frame rate set to 29.92 fps.  I
    then place a clip into the sequence.  Because of the source channel mapping a
    new stereo audio track is automatically created (Audio 5) and the audio from the
    clip goes into Audio 5, not Audio 1 through 4 (because they are mono).
    All is good so far and I can edit and export to my hearts content.
    However, I recently wanted to use Soundbooth to make some adjustments to the
    audio.  When I right click and select Edit in Soundbooth, Render and Replace I
    end up with a mono clip in Soundbooth.  Also the rendered clip that Premiere
    adds to the project has only a left channel.  However, the sequence itself
    seems to still have a stereo clip as evidenced by viewing the clip in the
    source monitor.  I cannot figure out how to get Premiere to render a stereo .wav
    file with both left and right source channels and pump it out to Soundbooth.
    Premiere Pro 4.1.0
    Windows XP SP2
    Dual 3Ghz dual core Xeons
    3 GB RAM
    Tyan Tempest i5000XT MB

    Welcome to the forum.
    Since this is PrPro CS4.1, it should have been posted to the Premiere Pro sub-forum, as this one is for Premiere, prior to Pro. This is a new change in the forum structure, and all of us are still working through it.
    Now, let's see if we can get you to editing.
    Does the Audio Track, AT 5, have the stereo speaker icons, or just a single speaker icon? From your description, it should be the stereo speaker icon. You can also go into Audio Mixer and check out the signal, or Dbl-click on the Audio Clip to view it in the Source Monitor.
    Since Edit in SB is not doing what you and I think it should do, I'd bypass that, and just do an Export>Audio Only through AME (Adobe Media Encoder), as a PCM/WAV file. Open that in SB and edit, as is required. Do a Save_As (keeping your original Export file for safety) and then Import that edited Audio file into PrPro. Place it as is required on the proper type of Audio Track. Go to Audio Mixer and just Mute the old Audio Track. That should handle it fine.
    If you do have a mono file, you can create a dual-mono (not exactly the same as a stereo file, but similar), with Fill-Left, or Fill-Right. Still, from your description, you should have a stereo file and why SB is not seeing it as such is puzzling. Still, if you can get to editing, you can probably sort that part out, when you have time.
    Good luck,
