Hi,

can anyone tell me how the "special data" (root note, loop/one-shot/beatmapped, etc) acid writes to the wav header is stored in it exactly? The header doesn't have "custom data area" in it at least according to:

http://technology.niagarac.on.ca/courses/comp630/WavFileFormat.html

Anyway, I'd like to ask a friend of mine to code a small app for me that could automatically change eg. all files in a single folder to one-shot mode (like doing attrib -s -r -a -h *.* in DOS, you know what I mean) . This way I wouldn't have to edit +10000 single drum hits etc. to one-shot mode by hand.

It wouldn't be too bad an idea to incorporate this function to, say, SF's batch converter as well (*nudge nudge wink wink*)

Cheers,
el-bee

There used to be a program called Acidizer that did what you want. I don't know if you can still find it ... but you can scour the web for it.

Thanks for the info! :) I tried to look it up but it seems that the site to which all pages link to is unavailable (or under construction)..

So, does anyone know a working link? Detailed info about how the acid-data is stored within the wav header is welcome too.
