I have a single set show from last week that is 2'15" long and recorded at 24/48.
Due to the 2GB file size limitation my R-44 split it up into two files, one 2'7" and another 8". Using Wavelab 5 I CANNOT paste the two because of the 2GB file size limit. I tried to SRC both from 48k>44.1k and it is still too big. I thought "What the hell, I'll dither too" but when I put the 16/44.1 rendered product back together there is an audible blip.
Any other ideas on how to attack this? The last option would be to split it at what would be a track mark, but a silent spot, and then SRC/Dither so the blip would be much less audible.
I'd love some ideas other than to switch my DAW software.

The 2gig limit is a file system limitation, not the daw app.
I don't use wavelab so I can't be specific, but it should be able to do what you are looking to do (just not save a file that large)
There's got to be some setting or option you have set wrong.

This is not entirely true. Sure in FAT16 2GB is a limit, but most drives are formatted NTFS+ or otherwise. Wavelab 5 will not let your audio file expand past 2 GB. If you have a 2GB 24/48 file and add a bunch of gain, prompting the software to bring the file into a 32 bit domain it will complain...
The easiest option in Wavelab 5 in your situation is to split the 2GB file in applause or an encore break somewhere. Then prepend the file to the your smaller existing file and dither separately and re-attach. I've listened carefully to the re-attach point (in the applause) and never been able to hear it.

For what it is worth Wavelab 6 allows file sizes beyond the 2GB limit.

that's correct.

prof_peabody Has is right on about spliting the track dither each half then rejioning. I do it all the time with wave lab 5...cant wait till i upgrade to 6 :yahoo:

The problem with splitting and then dithering is that if the split is in the middle of music then you can hear it. The trick is to get it to a quiet spot in between songs and split it there.
I thought that I remember about 5 or so years ago Damon doing some tests that showed problems with pasting together dithered tracks in Wavelab.

I haven't noticed the joins when I do them in a quiet spot or applause. Also, if you join them at these spots you could use a short crossfade. I don't find it necessary though.

try Save as... option and just create 2 separate files with out dithering.
