Sound Details Options

You can save extra information such as copyright in Wave (.wav) files. When you open the .wav file that has been saved with extra information, that information will appear in this dialog box so that you can view and edit existing file information.



The following table lists the items of the information you can enter and save with a .wav file are as shown below. The information saved with .wav files can be retrieved in any other software that support WAV file format.
* Some of embedded information may include graphic file identifiers. * "Identifier" mentioned here refers to the information used by the program to identify the information embedded in the wav file. Users who want to parse a WAV file may find these identifiers helpful.

MP3 Options

This dialog box offers various options you can specify to save the file in MP3 format.



Format

Constant Bit Rate (CBR) The file with constant bit rate throughout the file.
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) The file with the bit rate that varies over time.

Quality

Determines the quality or process speed of MP3 encoding. Fast encodes the file faster, but the quality may be lowered. Highest gives the best quality as possible but takes longer to encode.

Copyright

Controls whether to turn on the copyright flag.

Original

Controls whether to turn on the original flag.

Raw File Options

If Raw PCM Format is selected in the Format box, only the waveform data is saved to the file. In this case, the headers or footers cannot be appended. Sample rate information is not written to the file, either.


Data Format

The DATA Format determines the bit depth and compression type for this file.

8-bit PCM 8bit non-compression (Integer)
16-bit PCM 16bit non-compression (Integer)
G.711 mu-Law 8bit compression (the audio compression standard for telecommunication encoding in Japan and United States.)
G.711 A-Law 8bit compression (the audio compression standard for telecommunication encoding in Europe.)

If the data being saved is 8-bit, this option does not produce the compression effect.

Data Type

This option is available if 8-bit PCM or 16-bit PCM is selected in the Data Format.

Unsigned 8bit PCM data will be saved as the values from 0 to 255.
16bit PCM data will be saved as the values from 0 to 65535.
Signed 8bit PCM data will be saved as the values from -128 to 127.
16-bit PCM data will be saved as the values from -32768 to 32767.

Channels

It is used to select Mono or Stereo channel.

Byte Order

This option is available when 8-bit PCM or 16-bit PCM is selected in the Data Format. You can specify the byte order of the data to be loaded.
Little endian(Intel) Data for Windows platform
Big endian(Motorola) Data for Macintosh and Unix platforms
