Hi, I am trying to export waveforms in the following format from Audacity on Mac Pro. The trouble is even saving as headerless, it saves as raw, but i need the file type to be .ws6. Even changing the extension in audacity from RAW to WS6, ends up with the file being named as XXXXX.ws6.raw, is there a workaround with this?
this is my export settings, file size etc ends up perfect, it just wont allow me to remove “RAW”
Hi There, I can, but the synth doesn’t recognise it, if i pull up the file info in MAC finder even with .raw removed and .ws6 in it’s place, the header still says “kind: Adobe Photoshop Raw File”
There must be some extra metadata outside of the file contents itself that says what type of file it is (the file is exactly 8192 bytes in size, so it can’t be in the file itself). I’m not a Mac guy, but I do know that a file on MacOS has both a “data fork” and a “resource fork”. The extra metadata is probably in the “resource fork”, and there’s probably a way to edit that if needed. Or send it to a non-Mac friend and have them send it back to you.
