Error opening sound file

AudioSculpt
#1

Hi,
I’m trying to synthesize a 1GB7 file (like the one here attached), but executing the following command line I get “Error opening sound file”. What am I doing wrong?

supervp -S “Applications/AudioSculpt 3.2.6/Fft/OS7.sdif” -A -Z -norm -Osa -v “/Applications/AudioSculpt 3.2.6/Sounds/OS7.aif”
“/Applications/AudioSculpt 3.2.6/Kernels/supervp” -xp_pipe -S “Applications/AudioSculpt 3.2.6/Fft/OS7.sdif” -A -Z -norm -Osa -v “/Applications/AudioSculpt 3.2.6/Sounds/OS7.aif”

You forgot to attach the input file, but if it is actually a SDIF file, then it is not a valid sound file. If your input is indeed the result of an analysis, you should remove the “-A” flag. There might be something else, but that’s hard to tell without the file itself

Hi,
I actually attached the .sdif, but for some reason it hasn’t been received by the forum. Here I try again. However, to avoid other mistakes (such as the -A flag, which I guess should be replaced with -isdata) what should be the complete and correct command line to synthesize a 1GB7 file? Thanks for your kind concern.
Best,
Francesco

The attachment didn’t work again. Maybe because the forum doesn’t accept files with the .sdif extension? Now I’ll try to attach it as a .zip. Thanks for your patience.
Best,

The simplest command would be something like:
supervp -S OS7.sdif -isdata S -Z -Osa OS7.aif

Of course you can add -norm as in your original command line. Correct and complete obviously depend on what you’re trying to do, but the above is the minimum: input file (-S OS7.sdif) input format (-isdata S) synthesize (-Z) output format (-OSa) and output file (OS7.aif)

Hi Francesco,

my take on this: you made a typo in the sound file name! I am pretty sure you don’t want “Applications/AudioSculpt 3.2.6/Fft/OS7.sdif”
but "/Applications/AudioSculpt 3.2.6/Fft/OS7.sdif” :wink:

Ok, Frederic was right. I only had to replace the wrong flag -A with -isdata S. Thanks for your concern.
Best,
Francesco
