One writesf~ is better. 

If you want to extract the wavs to their own track, well they're basically broadcast wavs. I'm quite fond of BWF.

Just be aware that it's 32 bit unless they've updated it to 64 bit wav and you'll have a 4 gb size limit which for multichannel wavs uses up rather quickly.

Hi,

What is more efficient for recording, say, a +15 minute 16 channel performance: a single writesf with 16 channels or 8 writesf object with 2 channels each?

Bonus question: What if I place a stereo writesf inside a patch and run 8 separate pd~ objects?

The context: recording network performance using Netty McNetface. This is why I'm trying to reduce as much processing from the main patch while staying within pd-land. (Routing multichannel audio out to another daw would be an option that I'm not considering right now)

Thanks!
