<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm curious about the differences between
"Soundfiler" and "readsf~".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been relatively unsuccessful with both of
these so far, yet it seems that what I'm trying to do is quite
simple.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like to play back many mono wav files
simoultaneously. Each file might be as long as 5 minutes or shorter than a few
seconds. I've created and edited most of the wav files in Cool Edit Pro
and saved them as 16-bit PCM wav files. When I try to play them using
readsf~ I get a "Bad header" error in PD's terminal window. And using
soundfiler, I can read small-ish files into an array but the -resize flag fails
when I try to read longer files (approx 3 - 5 minutes).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm assuming first that I might responsible for the
errors; so I suppose my real question is: WHICH object is more capable,
flexible, stable, and all-round BEST for playing wav files?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks</FONT></DIV>
