Way to export pure raw file

Post by cangbai » Sun Aug 25, 2019 7:47 am

I'm trying to export a signed 32-bit headerless raw file, but it exports with every fourth byte being set to either 00, 40, or 80, which messes up what I am trying to do. I need help finding a way to specifically export it as a signed 32-bit headerless raw file, otherwise what I am trying to do won't work.

Your requirement is a one-off unicorn, so unless somebody posts with custom tools, no.

How are you doing that?

Perhaps that's the actual values of your audio (?)

With Audacity 2.3.2:
  1. "File menu > Export > Export Audio"
  2. Select "Other uncompressed files" as the file type
  3. Select "RAW (headerless)" as the header
  4. Select "Signed 32-bit PCM" as the encoding
