Need someone to write a utility (Windows GUI) that combines all the 4GB multi track files into one big multi track file. Then split that one into the individual full length track .wav files.
Cymatic has a utility for their card...
I am getting my butt kicked by Reaper trying to do this. I normally use Studio One 3 and it doesn't even have a utility to split the files into individual tracks.
I'm 100% with you, a utility is greatly needed.
BUT....you can do this with Studio One.
I just downloaded the Studio One demo this weekend (since Gibson closed Cakewalk...grrrr).
If you open the File Viewer in Studio One, and navigate to the folder your multichannel WAV file is in, you can right click over it and select 'split into mono files', or something like that. I did it and it worked fine. Then I drag/dropped the files right into the Tracks in Studio One....worked.
One thing that did happen though, which is SUPER odd. Is after bring the 'chunks' of a single session, and sliding them together (so I have one big complete project now), I did some moving/cropping of the wav files...and all of a sudden the Waveform that you were viewing in Studio One, did not match the audio that you were hearing. I'm not talking latency, I'm talking WAY different.
Like for a song that I didn't play guitar in, it looked like there was full tracked audio on my guitar track....but when you listened, the track was silent (which is should have been since I didn't play guitar). And it wasn't 'background noise' on the track, because my guitar is direct.
Every track looked completely messed up.
I had one of my band mates as the Presonus team because he's at NAMM right now, and they said they've never heard of that happening. I still have the project saved and every time I open it up, same result. What you hear does not match what you see.
Other than that, I'm loving Studio One. I'm trying to decide between that and Reaper. Both can split multichannel WAVs, so they're my top contenders.
