Try using WavPack, http://www.wavpack.com/ This can losslessly compress 32-bit floating point WAVE-EX files, and faithfully preserves every chunk (which FLAC does not do). It is also free.

Hi. I've been browsing the archive on this topic and only found a few notes, all dating from a year ago (almost too precisely :) ) -- hope I haven't skipped the mails on that matter, sorry if I did. <p>Basically, I will get in the next few months a MOTU 896, that have 8 i/os in 24/96. I do pro sound recording, so it's more or less my business to have such a piece. Of

Hi, are there any plans for FLAC to implement spatial audio? Or maybe Atmos on FLAC? renatas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/flac/attachments/20170810/57a79181/attachment.html>

Yes, WavPack is second in my list. FLAC doesn't preserve every chunk? I thought it did. I only gave a quick try but it seemed to have preserved even the most obscure chunks. Let me check: it even seems to preserve "MIDI note associated to marker", which is a very unknown metadata used by SoundForge (& even defined in a buggy way), so I assumed it was saving them

All, Monty has made some improvements to the vorbis reference implementation, and we're ready to do a new release. Please sanity check the release candidate at http://people.xiph.org/~giles/2007/libvorbis-1.2.0rc2.tar.bz2 And let us know if there are any problems. The plan is to make an official release on Wednesday. Changes since the 1.1.2 release: * new ov_fopen() convenience

Hello FLAC list. As far as I know 24 bit FLAC support is broken. It often doesn't compress the audio at all, but instead stores the chunks as verbatim type (although the FLAC format supports 24 bit). Perhaps this is fixed? If so, do let me know. I agree that perhaps 32 bit float/pcm isn't entirely necessary when it comes to storing different qualities. But when wanting to preserve

Hello to the list, and please forgive me if this has already been asked before. (I am new here, you see) The question is really simple: Can I use FLAC to create multichannel files, ranging from 3-channel LCR, through Quad, 4.1 to 5.1 and possibly (later) above? The projects details are essentially this: DVD-Audio, containing MLP Lossless in stereo & surround/multichannel. Video_TS folder

does there exist anywhere a useful source version of an ACM for vorbis audio? I've seen the binary one somewhere in Japan, and there's an abandoned project at SourceForge, but I'm having a helluva time building it. I know all the caveats about CBR vs. VBR, ACM/AVI problems etc. but I need it anyway. Thanks in advance - ___ Dan Miller (++,) Founder, CTO, On2.com --- >8 ----

Not that many people are streaming FLAC, and if they are, they are, in my mind, undoubtedly experiencing problems. Probably the most prized kind of software problem of all, the intermittent kind. I am streaming FLAC. 24bit no less, and its fantastic. The future I would like to live in, is one where lossless music is streamed and heard by people other than myself. It is generally not possible to

Nicholas is probably right about noise. Another factor would simply be the amplitude of the resulting file. A 275 MB 24-bit file which compresses to 110 MB is probably not very loud. I assume that the average level is somewhat low, with few if any peaks that reach 0 dBFS. FLAC is very good at compressing audio that is not loud. In fact, the quieter the recording, the smaller the

Live, uncompressed music often has peaks that are 4 dB higher, or more, than a typical commercial CD. Such peaks are brief, and would not really affect the

Hi all, I just noticed this: https://sourceforge.net/p/flac/feature-requests/91/ a request for support of 32 bit audio data. The request has been around since 2008. Had two inial impressions: * Would adding this break brackwards compatibility too badly? Obviously decoding of 32 bit encoded data would not work with older versions of flac. * This is nuts. 24 bits has a dynamic range of

Hello, I was wondering what is the smallest install that anyone has managed with 4 (4.2 to be precise) ? I'm looking at a machine running as a VPN in a DMZ, so I'm going to remove/NOT INSTALL things like gcc, X, etc. I'm planning on putting this on a 1gb USB stick and booting from it. That reminds me, was there going to be a 1 CD server install image ? The other thing I noticed is
