Re: Fwd: Re: Fwd: Re: merging mono files

Hi, I have asked a GrandOrgue guru who has helped many times in the past 
and himself a sampleset creator. I sent him my main files and releases 
and he discovered that the issue lies in the fact with the releases, in 
that, for some strange mysterious reason, are saved as "Wave_ 
Format_Extensible (Wavex)" whilst the main files are in 
"Wave_Format_PCM". The latter is the correct format. This is the first 
time I ever came across this. I am still waiting for a reply as to how 
he managed to extract this information!

Now for the next step: it's not so much understanding what Wavex is but 
what software sports and supports this feature. All software I have used 
so far identify one type of wav format only. No choice. No options to 
select other than other formats like aiff, aa3, ac3, vox, wma, wmv, mp3, 
flac, ogg, etc etc!
