Re: [ReZound-users] Loading raw files into ReZound

Thanks for the quick response. I've done some experiments with various raw 
file sizes. Here is the long list of the directory as it currently stands:

drwxr-xr-x    2 jao      users         232 Mar  2 11:17 .
drwxrwx---   98 jao      users       12048 Mar  2 11:19 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 jao      users        2202 Mar  1 09:15 gcdmshaferdarr
-rw-r--r--    1 jao      users    3650912250 Mar  1 14:30 m2.raw
-rw-r--r--    1 jao      users    912326944 Mar  2 11:12 shaferdarr.raw
-rw-r--r--    1 jao      users    912327892 Mar  1 09:18 shaferdarr.wav
-rw-r--r--    1 jao      users    60768256 Mar  2 11:04 trackone.raw
-rw-r--r--    1 jao      users    60768390 Mar  1 09:14 trackone.wav

When I attempt to open files, with either the raw filter or all files filter, 
the only _raw_ files I see are:

shaferdarr.raw
trackone.raw

m2.raw, which is 3.7 gig, does not appear in the open file box. (Before when I 
tried to load raw files, they were all about this size, so I did not realize 
that smaller ones would work.) 

Could I snail mail you a DVD-ROM with one of these files on it? Keep in mind 
that iso9660 apparently does not support files of this size in its directory 
information, but the files are complete and intact on the DVD. You just have 
to copy the raw file onto a hard drive to get it into a FAT table 
(equivalent) that you can work with. Programs that use the FAT table data off 
the DVD truncate the raw file. 

I record live concerts at 96/24, so virtually everything I do starts out at 3+ 
gig. I would very much like to load these things into ReZound, slice out the 
excessive gaps between pieces, using the crossfade feature to avoid sniffs 
between movements/pieces. 

This is part of my plan to move all my audio work onto open source software.
I am pushing the limits here with the 2.6.3 kernel and ReZound 0.90beta on 
Gentoo.

Many thanks for some truly great work,

John
