hello miller,
i recorded a session with "open -bytes 4 x.snd" as a 6 channel file. now this file sounds very distorted, when i'm playing it in pd or ecasound (32bit float). did i something wrong or is this a bug in pd? i thought -bytes 4 would write a 32bit file. i wonder if this is clipping noise or if there is something wrong in the order of the bits and if there is a way to repair the recording.
thanks, smoerk

Oops. It looks like I never put this in the help window.
"open -bytes 3 x.wav" will open a 24-bit stream. You can also do 32-bit floats, but only in ".snd" format (I didn't know at the time that wav files apparently can hold floating point too.)
cheers Miller
