DAP +currently supports AIFF, AIFF-C, WAV and RAW audio files, 8 or 16 bit +resolution and 1, 2 or 4 channels of audio data. Note however that compressed +AIFF-C files are not currently supported, only non-compressed AIFF-C files. + +The package itself offers comprehensive editing, playback and recording +facilities including full time stretch resampling, manual data editing and a +reasonably complete DSP processing suite. Note however that time stretching +does not currently work on Solaris (still trying to debug !!). + +For compatibility with sox, the popular audio conversion tool, the "Sox +Compatible" preference must be switched on in DAP. Switching this option on +simply tells DAP not to save any strings when saving AIFF files. This is +necessary as the current version of sox is rather buggy and doesn't like odd +length strings. I'm gonna try and check in a fix to sox but for now if you have +any problems converting using sox switch this option on. |
