Rate conversion does not work with 27778 Hz old rompler WAV files

[RoiDeLaPlage]

Hello, I'm trying to convert many WAVs from old musical Romplers (format is : 27,778Hz, 1CH, 434 kbps) to standard 44.1Khz, 16 bits but the program does not make the conversion.

Example : signet.exe 12_Strings_Guitar_EII_hfe_S1.wav -convert sample-rate 44100 bit-depth 16

The returned error is : ERROR: Input files: The input part sample-rate is neither a file, directory, or pattern Run with --help or --help-all for more information.

This is converted correctly using FormatFactory but I'm losing the looping points. Any quick workaround ? Thanks ! Fred

Hi, I've never tried non-standard sample-rates but it might work. I think I see an error with your command though, you have - in from of the word convert. The commands in signet don't have any dashes. So it should be: signet.exe 12_Strings_Guitar_EII_hfe_S1.wav convert sample-rate 44100 bit-depth 16

Thanks for your quick feedback. Indeed, I mistyped the command line, should have copy/pasted it !

I confirm the non-standard WAV sample-rate of 27778Hz is not working properly with Signet. I made a test, converting 27.8Khz to "low quality" 22050Hz (2CH) using FormatFactory. Then tried the rate conversion to 44.1kHz with both 27.8kHz and 22kHz files in the directory : Signet only converted the 22kHz see below

where the directory holds 12 files.

PS: typo with "SetTing the bit rate from..."

Ok thank you, could be a bug here, I'll take a closer look when I have a minute.

Good spot with the typo - I've fixed that now.

[RoiDeLaPlage]

I can send you sample files for testing if it makes sense. Checked SOX : it does make the 27.8 to 44 conversion but doesn't keep the looping information :(

[SamWindell]

Yes actually that would be helpful thanks. Just one file would do. You can either attach it here or send me an email if you prefer: info@frozenplain.com

We concluded #18 is the cause of this problem rather than sample-rate conversion
