Topic: wavelab crashed after split, data saved by cdwav

[rabhan]

so i am transfering a dat to my hdd and wavelab made the split successfully, however, after 6mins of the second file, i go to hit stop and wavelab crashes. the data is in explorer and i go to open it in cdwav and it says that the header is bad or something, do i want to continue, so i do, i get another strange message, i still continue, it opens the file, i make a split at the end and resave the wav and everything is okay. very weird. anyone have similar experiences with wavelab doing that?

Sounds like a version *ahem* obtained from an alternate distribution channel.

jon i have had this problem....are you running wavelab 4.0g?  try uninstalling and going back down to 4.0c, i did and haven't had any problems lately....

ANYWAYS the answer to your "lost" wav file is really quite simple.  do you have sound forge?  if so, open the file as a raw data type (in the file type box) and choose that second wav file (after the split).  then you need to save it as a wave file and you will have to choose the correct bit-depth and sample rate.  then there will probably be a few extra null samples at the beginning of that file once you save it as a wav...just trim those off and paste onto your first file and you should be fine.
there was a thread about this (i think) a while back but i wouldn't know what to search for...
now if that doesn't work, there are some other utilities that can rebuild header info no wav files but i am not so familiar with them...this has been discussed on the yahoo laptop-tapers group before several times also, you may check there.  but try what i suggested above, it's rather painless and doesn't require sophisicated command line utilities

i remember that thread about repairing the header with SF, i was intrigued by the fact that cdwav could fix it. i dont have access to "c", "g" was a gift

Have any of you guys tried out Adobe audition (new CEP) yet? I could lead you in the right direction if you'd like to try it out. Or SOny's Soundforge as well. I have yet use audtion but maybe doing that tonight. Just wondering

[rabhan]

does it(they) have a "split" option

i can help with wavelab 4.0c....

I've had the same problem with 4.0g.  If i remember correctly there was a bug with 4.0c.  Anybody know specifically what that entails?  

[jpschust]

the bug with c was in the apogee dithering algorithm.  it wasnt correct to apogee's standards.

i do all my post production in sound forge anyways so as long as wavelab 4c records ok then i don't care...

Definately use wavelab for recording!!  Are there any other dither schemes out there for these progs anyway?

the Waves L2 IDR dither (DirectX plugin) is pretty sweet.
