I am on Windows 10 Home, x64 bit processor trying to find out how to combine multiple WAV audio files into one WAV file. When I try to import the audio via Import/Audio, I get a message saying it doesn’t recognize it and to either download FFmpeg or Import/Raw Data. I downloaded the FFmpeg but don’t see that it’s doing anything and have located it. When I import Raw Data it imports the file but is just scratchy noise.
Any thoughts on what I need to do to resolve this issue?
It’s probably not a “regular” WAV file. Almost all WAV files are uncompressed PWM but it can be a “container” with compressed audio.
I’m not familiar with FTR. Are there save/export options for different formats? Is there a forum or support where you can find out what’s “different” about it or how you can edit it?
P.S.
This is not related to your immediate problem, but regular WAV files are limited to 4GB which can be a couple of hours depending on the sample rate, but depth, and number of channels.
I tried your steps but do not get the dialog box when I choose “File>Import>Audio”. I’ve attached another screenshot. It takes me directly to my folder that I need that contains the WAV files, then when I select one of them, I get the popup box about not recognizing the audio and to download the FFmpeg.
These are audio files from court for my work. FTR is a software that the courthouse uses to record. I am a court reporter and report some of the hearings that are recorded and once I have them in a transcript format in my court reporting software, there is an option to associate audio with my translated text but it will only accept one WAV file, so I need to find out how to combine them into one WAV file.
I think I will contact FTR to see if they have any insight on this. If you have other suggestions, I would love to hear them and give it a shot!
Sure you do. The “Import dialog” is the window in your picture that says “Select one or more files” at the top.
The “format filter” is currently set to “All files” (the drop-down selector at the bottom of that window).
