wav vs aif vs SDII

2005-03-11 by alecwhiting

I have up till now never thought of a reason why I should have a 
preference between wav or aif.

I tend to have all three in my samples used with esx.

However recently I had a problem where a song was open with two 
exs's, one had wav one had aif. The aif one however couldn't see its 
files, although I verified there presence where they should have 
been. It just refused to see them.

So I went back to the prosamples cd and replaced the aifs with wavs 
and then everything worked fine.

Also does anyone know, when you convert a 24bit file to 16 using 
logic save file, with lower than current bit depth, does this mean 
that logic is dealing with dithering for you when it converts. I am 
worried I will one day find noise in the esx samples I have created. 
The logic manual I have is poor on this subject.

Best Regards

Alec
