hi vikas and thanks for an intelligent question. audacity does not natively save in wav. in fact wav is a late-entrant. i remember being dazzled by apple macs handling audio way back in 1985. then in circa 1987 quicktime took it even further. at the core of these digitized streams, is pulse-code modulation (pcm) or its variations. hence the confusion. audacity natively needs to mark a lot of stuff on the audio, and it can handle unlimited tracks, depending on your hard-disk capacity. it can also take on very large file-sizes. therefore, audacity's fileformat is *.aup. if you look at the menu of audacity, it has an 'export wav' entry. also take a look at how audacity allows multiple tracks, each with mono or stereo, and check out the resolution for each track: upto 32-bits, up to an astounding 10,000 hz. :-) niyam -- niyam bhushan _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
