Samples Won't Load

[PixiIized]

When I try to load my samples into the wavetable, no matter what I do it says "Could not open Wave!". Please advise.

[LTVA1]

It only supports .wav files

[PixiIized]

I know that, that's what I'm loading.

[LTVA1]

Hm, then it's a bug. You use Windows or Linux? Also I would like to see the files you failed to load

[PixiIized]

Currently I'm on Windows, and github apparently doesn't support .WAV files, so I can't attach them

[LTVA1]

Hm, I am on Windows too and I never had this issue. Maybe you can compile the debug version and see what console says?

[PixiIized]

Unfortunately my only experience with consoles is game development and VS Code, so I don’t know how to do that.

[LTVA1]

Okay, then I will check in a few days on my side. I remember all the wav files I tried working properly. Even the stupidly large ones.

[PixiIized]

Is there any anywhere that tells me how to compile the debug version? I need to experiment with sampling some more. In addition, all .wav files I tried were snare drums, if that makes any sense

[kometbomb]

The default build config is debug. Just go make. make release is what builds the symbol-stripped release version.

[kometbomb]

Also, the .wav import only supports PCM wave files. If there's any other codec (compression) being used then it will not work.

[PixiIized]

I see. The codec being used might be the problem. Is there any way for me to determine what compression type is being used in a given .wav file? Cause I got all of the .wav samples from Sample Focus

[PixiIized]

I have solved the issue, although the solution was not very clear. I don't know if this is a bug on my side, or if you all assumed I was already doing this, but Klystrack will only accept my samples if they have a bit depth of 16 bits
UPDATE: Never mind. It's not the bit depth. I have found a site that gives me important info about my files, I will analyze from there

[PixiIized]

All the files have essentially the same properties... I have no idea what to do, I have found a grand total of two samples that Klystrack will accept, and one of them was generated in Klystrack, then exported and reimported as an experiment

[PixiIized]

I think I've finally figured it out... if the .WAV audio file has "comment" metadata, Klystracker won't accept. This is very strange, and you may want to look into it.

[LTVA1]

Klystrack does not fully support RIFF format chunks iirc. That's why it may fail with comments metadata

[PixiIized]

Exactly what metadata is part of the RIFF format chunks? Cause the some of the working .WAV have "album" and "artist" metadata.
