Hello,
I made a large recording in Ardour. The .wav file is 4.9 gb. I'm
having problems with it and I don't understand if the file is faulty
or if it's something related with the wav format, which seems to have
some problems with large files (or am I wrong?).
as already noted, wav can't go this big. the header has a 32 bit value
inside it to indicate the filesize.
if you search the LAU archives you'll find someone else who managed to
do this with another tool, and someone (2 or 3) people came up with
tools/solutions to save the day.
Also, what precautions should I take in the future
when I'll have to
record such long sessions?
use w64 format, or CAF.
