Hi, Thomas!
is the file broken or ok? You can try to play the file with e.g. Quicktime player (which should play the first two channels) to check if it's ok.
the files are ok, play fine in QT (the first two channels, as you say)
If yes and it is a 24-bits AIFF file, Pd might have problems to read it - you would probably have to convert to WAV or dither down to 16 bits.
argh!
Again I stumbled upon this!
Now there's the tricky part, because even QT-Pro does just two channels.
I'll find a way.
Thanks for remembering!
;-) Michael.

Hello,
for recording four channels I used [open -bytes 3 filename] fed into [writesf~ 4] in an earlier session.
Now I need to split this interleaved sound file up into four mono-files for importing them elsewhere. I tried [open filename] -- [readsf~ 4] but just get digital noise. Since relying on its detection capabilities doesn't seem to work I tried to specify the parameters, starting with [open filename 0 200 4 3 b] .
It changes the noise but doesn't deliver the proper audio stream. Admittedly I'm not sure about the header size How could I get this to work?
many thanks, Michael.
