had wet pants when they typed about `Samples..'.

Hi there....

Hmmm...duno about this one, sorry! If you just wanna know it off hand,
load it into any sample editor and read the value I guess! If you're
talking about via your own prog, then you'll need to Peek or Leek the
file probably as the value will be held in the file. (as long as it's
not RAW).

>2) How do I convert a WAV (PC) sample to a raw one.. (Or just the file-
> format :)..

Get a copy of OctaMed sound Studio. Load the sample and save it out
again as Raw Data. Eay peasy Lemon Squeezy :)

>3) The file-format if an AIFF file ??

Never heard of this one, sorry :(

Get hold of Audio Master IV. It allows time stretching and you can
alter the sample rate easily too if you want. I've just heard of a new
program named Sound Probe which should be of use to you also. See CU
Amiga. There's a demo of Sound Probe on CUCD 18 too :)

Try contacting CU Amiga's Tony Horgan on this one. He's a real sound
expert. He's bound to know the answer. Tell you what, I'll email your
question to the CU Amiga Mailing List and ak for an answer on your
behalf....

I hope you do too :^)

Merry Xmas BTW
