Can Goldwave open multi-channel AIF or WAV files?

Post by dataflow »

Hi,

I'm developing an application in LabVIEW where I'm acquiring 3 simultaneous audio channels. I'm saving the audio data in a AIF and WAV file. These formats are supossed to support more then 2 channels, but can GoldWave open these files, when they have more then 2 channels? I always get an 'unsupported file format' error.
I'm not sure if this is a limitation of GoldWave, or an error in my save AIF and WAV routines (with 1 channel, my routines work fine with GoldWave).

Regards,

GoldWave only supports mono and stereo files, so it is not able to open multichannel files.

Thank you for your reply.
I used another program afterwards an succeeded in opening the 3-ch AIF file. But that same program couldn't open the 3-ch WAV file.
