App to convert WAV to IFF
Does anyone knows any app able to convert WAV files to IFF files? Amiga or PC? (PC would be better, but I can use an Amiga app too)
I've found a lot of programs to convert to AIFF , but not IFF , and I guess they are not the same thing. Thanks in advance. |

i was using wav2amiga by adrdesign. the script uses sox - too many options, when using sox itself, so give it a try.
#1) SoundConvert 2.1a is another one - comes with a gui (SoundConvert 2.1 - 2.1a is an update only). Last edited by emufan; 29 December 2016 at 22:11. |

http://aminet.net/package/mus/edit/AmiSOX33 Couldn't make work with neither. yours asks for a library, it looks to work only with modern systems. The other one asks for a Play16 file thing I don't know what it is. |

I've used the above AmiSOX to convert WAV to 8SVX. Definitely does work. Can't remember it asking for Play16 either.

Multiview saves as IFF whatever you load into it.
Play16 is there: http://aminet.net/package/mus/play/Play16 |

The Windows application Goldwave comes with my highest recommendation, I've had the registered version for a few years now. Well worth the money. Especially when used for preparing and converting audio for use on "retro" platforms.
Anyway, it has excellent batch processing features and supports a wide variety of audio formats, not the least of which being WAV and IFF. My only gripe is it's a little buggy when running from Linux/Wine, can't create a new waveform for some reason, but it can still load and save just fine. I could probably name at least half a dozen WAV>IFF converters for Amiga which have yet to be named in this thread, but you did specify in the original post that PC software would be preferred, and I can totally understand why. So I won't bother. Last edited by Anakirob; 30 December 2016 at 02:40. |

you should have a look along this thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=72698 btw: wavosaur or soundforge -> export to mono 8 bit signed byte does the trick moreover: octamed soundstudio can load aiff and wav (8-16 bit) hope it helps |

I don't know about wav, but for Mp3's on PC you've got this: http://www.mp3toaiff.com/ that works also with batchs.

Probably not the best way but I loaded the wavs into modplug tracker on a pc then saved it as a protracker module. On the amiga then I just saved out the samples.

I know it's an old thread but here's my method which works well for me and it's pretty straightforward. I record whatever I want in FL Studio and save it using the Edison VST (only using the trim side noise option beforehand). After installing sox and adding it to the path, I run this Windows .bat file from the folder where I saved my .wavs:
cd %~dp0 FOR %%A IN (*.wav) DO sox.exe --norm %%A -b 8 -c 1 -e signed-integer "%%~nA.raw" rate 16754 Where 16754 means C3. If the sample is on a different note, change accordingly - here is a list of the frequencies for each note I got from http://www.wanda25.de/amiga.html Note Frequency C1 4143,6 C#1 4389,7 D1 4654,7 D#1 4926,2 E1 5231,4 F1 5542,0 F#1 5872,3 G1 6222,6 G#1 6592,7 A1 6982,1 A#1 7389,4 B1 7829,8 C2 8287,1 C#2 8779,4 D2 9309,4 D#2 9852,5 E2 10462,8 F2 11084,0 F#2 11744,7 G2 12445,2 G#2 13185,5 A2 13964,2 A#2 14778,7 B2 15694,2 C3 16574,3 C#3 17558,9 D3 18667,9 D#3 19705,0 E3 20864,1 F3 22168,1 F#3 23489,4 G3 24803,5 G#3 26273,3 A3 27928,3 A#3 29557,5 B3 31388,4 This will generate a 8 bit .raw sample from each .wav in the folder. If you don't know the note, Edison (and I guess other similar tools in other DAWs) provides an auto detection tool by clicking on the frequency number which will bring the sample properties dialog. I have tried resampling, mixing channels, etc beforehand within Edison itself but I haven't noticed any difference in quality in regards to just saving it and then running sox. Also note I save the samples as raw because OctaMED 5 (which is my tracker of choice) doesn't seem to like the 8svx samples generated by sox, you may change the extension to 8svx intead of raw in the command line and sox will automatically save it in that format. |
