Post Subject: .w64 filesPosted by Antonio J. on: 4/7/2008

Hi Romy,

I've downloaded the files, which have the w64 extension. This AFAIK is a propietary Sony's Soundforge format. I've played them with that software, but it won't accept playing using the "bypass" to use only souncard's routines and uses Windows ones. I could use ASIO drivers for my soundcard if they were standard redbook, but not at their current bit depth and sampling freq. I tried to play them with WaveLab, but it doesn't recognize them as an audio file.
Is there a way to play those files "as is" without reprocessing on WaveLab bypassing Windows sound device? Maybe something simple like changing the file extension to another is the way to go.
Played on Soundforge I couldn't find any difference. Again my handicapped computer system plays a role here.

Rgrds.
