Splitting .wav Files from LPs in WaveStu

Hi,
Does anyone know how to split a large .wav file using Creative WaveStudio? I haven't been able to find out how in the help files or online knowledgebase.
I have a SB Li've! 24-bit and have successfully recorded LPs to .wav files in 96kHz/24-bit resolution (I plan to take advantage of the higher resolution afforded by the DVD specification over normal audio CDs and make music-only DVDs). I've been capturing whole sides of LPs and now need to split the resulting file into tracks.
I can think of two work arounds:
) record one track at a time.
2) make individual tracks from several copies of the large file.
But it would be easier to just be able to split the large file into individual tracks. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

if you only deals with STEREO 24/92 files then wave studio should be able to split them easily.
if you're dealing with multi-channel 24/96 files then I think Goldwave isn't able to process them correctly (it's not indicated it supports multichannel files in the product description).
If you plan to play your records on a PC only, then why you do not compress them with Windows Media codec (lossless for 5./24bit/96kHz, or Professionnal for 7./24bit/96kHz max). You'll be able to fill more your compilations without any hearable audio loss (with the lossless one yes).
Windows media encoder can do this very well, as well as indexing its media formats.

Broadcast Wav files from PT to Logic not moving to original record position

Okay, my system needs upgrading but I'm stable (at least I think I am til now!) I have a TV network sending me broadcast wav files from PT. They shoot their video on a 24 hour clock. I'm to be editing and mixing (in Logic) their audio tracks from PT and send them back as broadcast wav files for them to sync back to their video. After years and years of recording and producing music, this TV world is a first for me. 2 issues at hand that are causing trouble.
NUMBER 1: The wav files will not snap to original record position. I keep getting an error message about "out of range" and of all craziness with a negative SMPTE number. ??? The prompt suggests an offset error. But there isn't I can find. Start time is set to 0:0:0.0.0 here and at the TV studio. They film at 29.97d. That matches as well. Sample Rate is correct at 48k 24bit. I've uncovered every thing I can think of. I did have to set the tempo down to 5 BPM in order to see a full 24 hours in SMPTE.
NUMBER 2: I can't figure out how to see the timestamp start time of the audio files in the audio window. I have every option turned on in the VIEW option, I can see length, but I see nothing about start time of original record time. Am I missing something simple here? Seems like a very standard option that should be easily accessible. It would allow me to prepare the location on the time line.
Overall, I'm hoping I can do all the above with my current rig but realize that the clock is ticking toward a whole new system with Logic 9.
Help please. Don't want to lose this client.

Sure do appreciate everyone's willingness to help. Setting SMPTE start to 24:00:00.0.0 didn't work either. I confirmed with the studio manager at the TV station also that they run a 24hour clock with 0 being midnight.
I'm really hoping that the error is on their end.
*It would help me if anyone knew how to VIEW the Timestamp info attached to the wav files. That would at least give me an approximate idea of where they should be.*
I'm supposed to be editing and mixing the voice dialog from numerous different scene takes that were shot throughout a day of filming. It's critical that I can see all these different takes that were captured over hours of open recording. Some of the files are almost 4 hours long. It's a big project and I'm sure hoping I can stay inside Logic to get it all done with excellence.

Subsequent play of WAV files from HTTP

Hi,
I have to subsequently play many WAV files from HTTP in a nokia series 60 emulator.
Everything is ok for the first two files, but at the third I catch an exception:
"java.io.IOException: exceeded the configured maximum number of connections"
I tried two ways to load the files from HTTP:
Manager.CreatePlayer(InputStream...)
Manager.CreatePlayer("http:\\...")
Below there is the code of the two methods I use. Please note that I try in every way to close the connection before open a new one!!!
public void Method_1(String src, String type){
int iLen=0;
is = null;
httpCon = null;
byte[] bBuf;
try {
if (p != null) {
if (p.getState() == Player.STARTED) {
p.stop();
p.removePlayerListener(this);
p.deallocate();
p.close();
p=null;
if (is!=null){
is.close();
is=null;
if (httpCon!=null){
httpCon.close();
httpCon=null;
httpCon = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(src);
if (httpCon.getResponseCode() != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
System.out.println("Bad response code");
return;
System.out.println("Connection OK! (audio)");
iLen = (int) httpCon.getLength();
System.out.println("audio file length : " + iLen);
is = httpCon.openInputStream();
p = Manager.createPlayer(is, type);
p.addPlayerListener(this);
p.setLoopCount(1);
p.prefetch();
p.start();
vc = (VolumeControl)p.getControl("VolumeControl");
catch (MediaException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
public void Method_2(String src){
try {
if (p!=null){
if (p.getState() == Player.STARTED)
p.stop();
p.deallocate();
p.close();
p=null;
p = Manager.createPlayer(src);
p.addPlayerListener(this);
p.setLoopCount(1);
p.start();
vc = (VolumeControl)p.getControl("VolumeControl");
catch (java.io.IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
catch (MediaException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

My question is:
how can I load (from a HTTP server) and play more than two WAV files without crashing?
Do I have to close the connection in a better way in order to re-open it without problems (and more than two times)?
It is simply an emulator bug?
Thanks.

Help in creating 3 voice .wav files from 1

I am trying to use Audition to record news in just voice format. I would like to record 1 track and then be able to split or cut/paste sections of the long track into 3 separate tracks to be saved as 3 separate .wav files. How do I do this easily?
As well, when I am recording, I make some mistakes along the way and would like to toggle off the recording, then toggle it back on at the point where I made a mistake and continue on, while leaving a marker at the spot where I made the mistake. That way I can come back and edit the track where I made the mistakes, which could easily be found because of the markers. I can't figure out how to do this. Whenever I record a track and make a mistake, if I hit the spacebar, it stops the recording and goes back to the beginning of the track. I don't want that. I want to be able to stop the recording, then restart AT THAT SPOT moving forward with recording the rest of the track....then when I am finished, I can come back and edit the part where I made a mistake. Help please?

There are several different ways to do what you want in your first question and split tracks away. Here's how I do this, but YMMV and you may prefer a different way suggested by somebody else. First, very important, with a file like this, do not edit the only copy, because it's easy to screw up and save and close a file without realizing that you deleted critical material you still wanted. So start by going to File>Save Copy As and making a copy of the original file with a distinct name, and edit from there. What I do is highlight the material I want to split away (dragging the mouse over it), then right-click the highlighted material, and click Save Selection (or File>Save Selection), then Cut to remove that fragment and continue editing what's left. It's important to note that you want Save Selection, not Save; otherwise, it just resaves the entire file and not the highlighted selection.
I don't have an answer to your question on how to save a marker in a specific spot. I don't think Audition 1.5, which I'm working with, has that feature (though I've wanted that feature, too) but maybe AA3 does. Somebody else will know. What I do during playback that I'm allowing to continue is click on the graph to move the horizontal, dashed yellow line to a point I want to come back to, but that's only a temporary measure and one-of-a-kind, and I think you're looking for something more enduring and allowing multiple mark-ups, when there's only one of those start-point lines. The other thing I do is keep a list of approximate playback points with pencil and paper.
Hitting the spacebar during playback is the equivalent of clicking the Stop button in the bottom left with your mouse. This will reset playback to the cursor, as you saw. Instead, you want to click the Pause button with your mouse. Then you can hit the spacebar to resume playback where you paused, or click the Play arrow with the mouse (same thing).

How to play .wav file from URL in web browser embed

Hi;
I want to play a .wav sound file in embed default media player in IE. Sound file is on some HTTP location. I am unable to sound it in that player.
Following is the code.
URL url = new URL("http://www.concidel.com/upload/myfile.wav");
        URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
        InputStream is = (InputStream)urlc.getInputStream();
         fileBytes = new byte[is.available()];
         while (is.read(fileBytes,0,fileBytes.length)!=-1){}
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
         out.write(fileBytes);Here is embed code of HTML.
<embed src="CallStatesTreeAction.do?ivrCallId=${requestScope.vo.callId}&agentId=${requestScope.vo.agentId}" type="application/x-mplayer2" autostart="0" playcount="1" style="width: 40%; height: 45" />1. If I write in FileOutputStream then it plays well
2. If I replace my code of getting file from URL to my local hard disk. then it also works fine.
I don't know why I am unable to play file from HTTP. And why it plays well from local hard disk.
Please help.

You'll have to ask the devleopers of sencha and phonegap.

Wav file from remix stem pack has no volume - Logic Pro 9

I recently downloaded a remix stem pack and can't get the vocal wav file to play. It show's a wave form, but no volume. If I load a sample wav file, a drum hit for example, it will play no problem. Anyone have any idea's? It's not the wav file as it plays in itunes, and also plays in my friends logic pro.
Thanks

The hierarchy is [LOGIC FILE NAME]>LgDoc>(files ... Displaystate, DocumentData, Windowimage.jpg)
Like this:
You need to recreate the folder structure in order to be able to open the file. (look at the path bar at the bottom of the picture.)
Do not disassociate the displaystate from the documentData files. They should be together. The windowimage file is optional and will be recreated when the file is saved again.
Hope this helps!

How to read a .wav file from a .jar - Please Help!!!

Hello,
I know this is a stupid question but I keep having trouble doing this. My code is the following:
    Display display;
    Alert alert;
    InputStream stream;
    Player player;
stream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("newalert.wav");
            player = Manager.createPlayer(stream, "audio/wav");
            player.prefetch();
            player.start();
...I'm running this Midlet on a Motorola A1000 and I keep getting the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
stream is null
I've created the .jad package using KToolBar of the J2ME WTK2.2 with the appropriate .wav file on res folder.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Paulo

Hi
If your stream is null, then the wav file cannot be reached. Try this code:
stream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/newalert.wav");If this doesn't work either, make sure your wav file is directly in the res directory and not in another subdirectory of it. I suggets not running your application directly from the phone until it works from the WTK emulator.

How to create a wav file from 24bit 96Khz sampling rate data

Hi
I am trying to make an VI which will play sound while acquiring data from PXI 4472 DAQ card.
My sampling rate is 96Khz and PXI 4472 card is a 24bit card.
Wave files are in 8 or 16 bit and the sampling rate is 8000, 11025, 22050 and 44100. How will I be able to play the data which I am acquiring.
How would i normalize the data into the required format needed for most of the sound cards to play.
Or are there any codec available in Windows XP which i call to play a 96KHz 24 bit sample
Does anybody ever encountered this type of problem.
Thanks in advance
Nitin

Whilst the 'standard' RIFF format specification usually accomodates 16 bit data, there is of course no reason that you can not create your own extension. It just won't be playable by Media player using the 'standard' installed drivers or codec. This may not be a problem....
WAV files can and do support other formats, you just need to know how to handle them......
There is howerver a 4GB limit (related to the pointer size in the WAV specification) which with higher bit depths on the sampling does start to become a bit of a problem.
To give you a few samples of other types of wav files check out the following site here
http://www-mmsp.ece.mcgill.ca/Documents/AudioFormats/WAVE/Samples.html
The following definitions for WAV audio formats may also be of interest here
http://www-mmsp.ece.mcgill.ca/Documents/AudioFormats/WAVE/WAVE.html
Good luck with 24 bits.

Why are .wav files from iTunes so small?

I'm pretty new to iTunes. The experience has been spoiled by the following problem I have.
On my import options (i.e., Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Importing), I have set:
import using: WAV encoder
custom setting: 44.1kHz, 16-bit
This should be CD-quality CD. As such, each minute should take about 11 MBytes or so. (That's how my wav files ripped from audio CD are). Well I just downloaded Candlebox's Far Behind which is about 5 minutes long, and for some reason it only takes 5 Mbytes on my hard drive. Savings space on my hard drive is of little importance to me. What I really want is top lossless quality. And I have a superfast connection, so that's not an issue either.
So what's going on here?
Are these settings not for downloading, but rather for ripping music from audio CDs I already have, or what?
Thanx.

The import setting is for CDs you already have or if you had WMA files and were converting them into iTunes. Downloads off the net are almost always in MP3 format and songs bought off iTunes are in the AAC format (A compressed format just like MP3). I wouldn't worry about it much. If there songs you bought on iTUnes, AAC is a very good sound format and (Far as I know) are just like CD quality
I have bought one or 2 albums in a store on CD and off iTunes in ther AAC format and I can not tell a diff in neither

How to generate .wav files from sound pressure data

Hi,
I have sound pressure data (as dB values) vs frequency data.
How can I create a playable .wav file based on above?
Note: I do NOT have sound pressure vs time data
I am working in LV 7.1 FDS on Win2000.
If really required, I can incorporate VIs from sound and vibration toolkit (version 1.0).
However, I would prefer a solution that does not need me to do that.
Thanks in anticipation,
Gurdas

All,
With some help from NI-India, we managed to build a nice sound player and .wav saving utility.
I have attached the VI sent by NI-India. The key component which was missing in my VI was "resample waveform".
Note: For some reason, I could not use the attached VI to generate sound but did use the concept to succesfully read my sound pressure data and output it to the speaker (and also save it as .wav file tha can be played on Windows Media Player). Also note that I am now generating sound from sound pressure vs time data. I have not tried generating sound from sound pressure vs frequency data.
I would love to have the following answered:
1) What data does the sound write VI expect? Is it Sound Pressure values? What units (N/m2 or dB or dBA)? I think it expects sound pressure data and the units are not relevant. Reason being my next question.
2) I found that until I mutliply the sound pressure data by a very large number say 10e7, the sound is hardly audible (even when volume was programmatically set to max. i.e. 65535). The sound QUALITY does not change when I change this multiplier.
2.a) Does that mean its only the relative difference between wave data points that affects sound quality? If yes, then I believe the sound pressure data can be in any units.
2.b) Is it expected to use this huge multiplier OR did I do something without really knowing what it meant?
Thanks,
Gurdas

How do I import wav files from an external hard drive into itunes converting to aac?

I have 270 gig of wav files on an external hard drive. I am having trouble finding a way to import these into itunes while converting to aac

Note that .wav files do not carry a tag. If you import files of the form ..\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name> into iTunes it will fill in the name property as the filename ## <Name> and all other fields will be blank. Assuming there is useful data in the path to capture, use Edit > Preferences > Avanced and disable the Keep... and Copy... options before adding the tracks to iTunes. You can then use the script TagFromFilename to fill in the blanks. Once this information is there you can convert the files to their new format and the converted files will inherit the track details.
You might want to consider initially converting to Apple Lossless which could halve the physical size of the collection with no loss of quality, and permanently embed the tag details. You can then choose to make a downsampled collection while retaining the full quality lossless copies and completely discarding the .wav originals.

Cannot open .wav files from Outlook 2010 (beta)

This file the error message i get:
This file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following previewer:
windows media player rich preview handler.....

Hi,
First, try to start Outlook in safe mode to see if it works fine.
If it works fine in safe mode, disable the add-ins you have in File > Options > Add-ins.
Second, try to clear out the Outlook Temporary items.
1. Locate the Outlook Temporary Items folder by opening the Registry and
locating
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security\OutlookSecureTempFolder
2. Navigate to the value of this Key. It should be something like:
%USERPROFILE%\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\
3. Quit Outlook
4. Delete the contents of the folder
5. Launch Outlook
Hope it helps.
Had this same problem. End of key was like "CK2219B0\". Deleted this small portion, saved registry, and restarted Outlook. .wav files executing fine now! Musta been some kind of update glitch cause it worked up to a day or
so back and then I had this problem. Thanks!!!
