I have been trying out (and hope to report on, eventually) the Zylia Ambisonic mic, which records 19 channels (at up to 24/48) for third-order ambisonics. This produces huge files (it reaches the 4 GB limit for wav files in 25 minutes). While it will roll over to a fresh file at the 25 minute limit, the match is not quite seamless, and also the production of stereo bake-downs for rough listening seems to be normalized for each 25 minute session separately. This problem is cured by using Wavpack lossless compression, and I recorded about an hour and a half to a 5.7 GB file. After reformatting my media to NTFS (completely lost one trial when the 400 GB microSD card for internal storage on my Ockel pocket computer was default formatted exFAT), I got the file over to my laptop. When I loaded it into Reaper, it played okay in the Media Explorer bar of Reaper but did not show up correctly in the Track Control Panel. I am absolutely new to, and way over my head in, Reaper, so it is likely I am doing something wrong.
Does any one have any ideas about how to take a Wavpack multichannel file, cut it up into 24 minute pieces, and export to multichannel wav files? What software can handle huge (> 4GB) 19 channel Wavpack files?
