Hi I recently played a gig with my quartet, and we arranged with a mac-dude that recorded the thing into his laptop/mac/logic. Today I received the DVD with the files, and I have trouble loading them into ardour. they are 44.1K mono files in aif-format, and when simply converting them with "sox file.aif -r 48000 file.wav" and importing them into an 48000 ardour session I get all noise. I guess they're either 32bit or it's the little endian issue (that I don't understand) or both. Here's what "file" has to say: atte@ajstrup:~/music/seq/jazz$ file audio_recording_041.aif audio_recording_041.aif: IFF data, AIFF audio And on the same file converted as mentioned above with sox: atte@ajstrup:~/music/seq/jazz$ file audio_recording_041.wav audio_recording_041.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 32 bit, mono 48000 Hz The file sizes: atte@ajstrup:~/music/seq/jazz$ ll audio_recording_041.* -r-xr-xr-x 1 atte atte 27M 2006-10-12 11:56 audio_recording_041.aif -rw-r--r-- 1 atte atte 30M 2006-10-12 20:03 audio_recording_041.wav The .aif file plays back just fine in mhwaveedit, and is 3:33 mins long (mono). The .wav file is a little shorter (2:40 mins), and is all noise when played back by mhwaveedit. Any pointers that would help me convert these files into something that sounds in ardour is greatly appreciated. Batch conversion (preferably with sox) is a must, as there are over 100 files... Thanks in advance for any response! -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk | quintet: http://www.anagrammer.dk | compositions: http://www.atte.dk/compositions
