- Hi there....

- >I'm in a bunch of trouble with a sample-loader I'm trying to build into
- >a program. I want it to load several different formats.. BUT:
-
- >1) How do I get the sample-rate of an IFF-8SVX file ??
-
- 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 :(
-
- >4) If I want to scale a 8-bit sample (to another rate), is it as simple

- > byte or is there some nasty trick that needs to be done ??
- > (calc. average of two bytes to make it even better ??)
-
- 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 :)
-
- >I'm in trouble with some .au files, they're very noisy. I fact so noisy
- >that it's almost imposible to hear the sound. I've written about this
- >before and got some advice on '8/16 bit', 'flipping', 'signing' and the
- >'sample rate'.. I've tried several processing-programs but with no luck.
- >Is there any sample-expert who can solve it (I can send one of the
- >samples if someone would like to look at it..)
-
- 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 to get something from this, as I need it very bad, Thanx...
-
- I hope you do too :^)

-
- Merry Xmas BTW
