I'm using Pd on WinXP with an M-Audio Quattro, ASIO at
96kHz/24Bit. That all seems to work fine. But when I use writesf~ and open the written files in Soundforge they're 44.1kHz/16bit. I wouldn't mind so much about the sampling rate because I could speed it up to 96, but it looks like I lose the bit depth that I was working with.
It doesn't look like writesf~ has any options to change the
bitrate that it writes at. Is there a way to write 96kHz/24Bit files? Am I missing something? Is there another external (in windows) that can do this?

writesf always uses 16bit and writes a 44.1khz (also if it's the wrong sample rate). i had once the impression that you can really hear the conversion from 32bit to 16bit and i also would like to record a 24bit or 32bit file, but nobody fixed writesf since i asked 2 month ago. seems that none of the developers is interested to get a decent audio quality when recording ;-).

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.)

-bytes 4 will write a 32bit stream? what about the sample rate thing?

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

Yep... I tried 4, 6, and 8 channels; 4 and 8 worked, but not 6. I'll look at it...
