OK. I can't figure this out. I have a new Sony D50 field recorder that records to WAV files. I use it to document our trio and sometime record friends gigs.

I want to transfer these files to Paris to add verb and stuff but I can't. Every time I try, I get the files to show up in the Audio window, but with no audio. The time is 0.

Heres what I have tried. Taking the wav file from the Sony and download it into my imac. No problem here. I can use toast to burn a CD with no problems.

Now Paris is on my G4 with OS9 so I have tried copying those wav files to either a flash drive or burn them as a data CD (and even an audio CD) to get them into the G4 that way. Once in the G4, I can open them with Sonic works and do stuff to them, and they play fine, but NOT Paris. Paris recognizes them in the audio window, but when I try to add the audio files, it shows up in the Audio window as a Left and Right track, but with No sound.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Lou Guarino

Two guesses:

1) They have BWF headers, which PARIS chokes on, and need to be put through StripWav to convert them to the older style WAVs that PARIS can read.

2) They use some sort of inherent data compression (I can't remember the name of the formats but some of the data recorders use them and they look from the outside to be regular WAVs) and they need to be first opened in an app that's known to write PARIS-friendly files and converted to a pure standard WAV.

One other thing - make sure they aren't 96k. If so you'll need to convert them to 48k or 44.1.

What Kerry said -

Worst case scenario, I'm pretty sure you can convert them to pafs in Sonicworx
either through the save as, or export options

Thanks Guys!!

Using Sonic Worxs to convert them to .paf files did the trick. Don't know why I didn't think of that, but then again, thats why "more" heads are better than one, and why places like this are invaluable.

Thanks again.
