Do you have awave Studio? I think it does this (calculate headers for raw
files) automatically. 
Those big indian/small are probably refering to encodings or something
similar, idk.

HTH, D!J!X!

Subject: [ddots-l] Loading Wav files as RAW Audio?

Hi folks.

Do any of you have experience loading Wave files into Sound Forge or Sonar
as Raw audio? I did this once before and restored a corrupt file, but this
was at least a couple years ago.

Background: I accidentally deleted some files on a memory card, which I was
able to restore with a free undelete utility. then, I used a tiny program
called fixwav to varify the files were stereo, and the correct bit depth and
sampling rate.  However, listening to them, I get what sounds like white
noise at full volume.

Looking at Sound Forge's RAW audio options, I can specify header and trailer
values, default for both is 0. Any idea what these should be set to, or what
values to try first?

And, any idea what "little indian, Intel" and "big Indian, motorola" refer
to?

Thanks for any ideas.

Chris

P.S. The two tools mentioned above are very good to have around, just in
case!  The freeUndelete utility works great and is from:

Fixwav is a free commandline utility, at least the version I have is. I have
not tested version 1.1 yet, available from:
