Playing around with importing impulse response files into a convolution reverb. They want to be split stereo .wav files. My files are .aiff files. What will convert .aiff files to split stereo .wav files?

If not to save directly to separated L&R files, surely whatever app you are using the conv.reverb in can easily select one channel and copy to a new channel/file/ event, save it, and then the same with the other channel ? Or is this for an app that just uses the reverb and has no basic editing functions ? geoff |

I get a message that says it wants to see two separate .wav files. If you are using Waves IR1 plugin, presumably you have a DAW or audio editor application hosting it. Creating two separate (L & R) mono files from a stereo file should be a trivial exercise in even the lamest of audio apps. Just a click to select the channel, a drag to a new track/file, and a Save As for each. Should take about 20 seconds. No need to go back to the Dark Ages by firing up a command line, finding the correct syntax, and typing the relatively cryptic commands into it. What is your host application ? geoff |

Not wanting to sound mean, but anybody "pretty good with your basic DAW" would have done this in 10 seconds already, and never needed to ask here surely? |

It will join, split, and do format conversions. The sample rate converter is acceptable. I recently had a couple hundred .wav files that were recorded with split channels because that was the default on the Tascam recorder. One command turns them all into stereo wav files. Another command creates normalized mp3 encoded versions for bands to audition. So much easier than having to do it all one at a time in the daw. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Any good DAW has macro's/scripts/actions. Whatever you are familiar with is often easiest. But I'd compare actual results before choosing any method. |

That's what sox is, it's an application that does simple tasks. The point of the Software Tools environment is to have small applications that can be chained together to do very powerful things. Not all of those applications are part of the OS, many of them are things you add and you run from the OS. So you use sox -called by- a script in the operating system. You can actually operate some all-in-one DAW packages that way too, although it feels like an afterthought on most of them today. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

And I grew up on command lines. And 6800 machine code before that. geoff |
