When I import wav files saved in Acoustica, wav - 32 bit 44100 Hz into Audacity with project settings 32 bit 44100 Hz , the program hangs and I need to force closing.
Does anyone have suggestion what to try changing
some wav files 32 bit 44,1 mhz works fine in Audacity, I have not found what separetes them from the ones that can’t be imported into Audacity
when I import aac file 44,1 mhz into Audacity it works fine.
suggestions welcome
I use latest version of audacity 3.6.4

You’ll have to guess/experiment with the settings. It may be 32-bit integer or 32-bit float and if you don’t know, try both.
The offset of a normal WAV file is 44 bytes, but if it’s wrong the bytes will be re-assembled in the wrong order and you’ll get garbage/noise. There are 8 bits in a byte so if you get noise try 44, 45, 46, 47 (or 0, 1, 2, 3).
Also check the playing time in Audacity (even if you get noise) compared to what you expect and compared to file size. i.e. A 32-bit, 44.1kHz, stereo file = (32/8) x 44.1K x 2 channels = 353 KB per second.
NOTE - If the sample rate is wrong (or if you guess the wrong sample rate with raw data) it will simply play at the wrong speed.
P.S.
Of course I don’t know what’s wrong but there’s probably a way in Acoustica to render a “normal” WAV file.
