Hello everyone,
It's been around a year since I've played around with Paris and it's good to
see there are still some folks determined to hang on. I remember reading a
post a couple of years back were someone stated that in order for Paris to
read some .wav files, that header information would have to be removed
first....I'm trying to import a track from an off-the-shelf cd and I can't
get Paris to see/play the files in the right way. I have Wavelab 4.0, which
I used to copy the cd track into. I've tried saving in both .wav and .paf
formats, stereo (i take it Paris can't read an interleavened stereo file)
and left and right mono with no luck. When I import the file as two mono
tracks using .paf extensions, I end up with tracks that are are three times
as fast as the originals (I have my record path set to 44.1 khz). If I save
and add them as .wavs, I end with no audio and tiny file sizes, which
indicates to me that the audio isn't being saved, only header info.
I hope I have explained myself well and would appreciate any tips.
Thanks,
Edric

Yep, that's the header info. ;o)
You need to either:
Download a program called "stripwav" and use it to strip the header info.
It comes as a shareware option which you would be able to use to get the
job done if it's a one off...
....or...
....there is an option menu somewhere in wavelab which turns the header info
off. If you switch that and resave the wavs you'll be cool. I beleive the
tick box refers to the header info as something like "Broadcast Wavs" or
something. If you find a tick option in wavelab for "broadcast wavs" turn
it off and re-open and re-save the files and you should find you're cool.
Mind you you might be cool already, but you'll be even cooler. ;o)
Cheers,
Kim.

Thanks Kim. I had completely forgotten about the stripwav utility. I've been
away from this much too long. :-)
