Import WAV files

Open wlmirand opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

First Id like to thank you for this awesome application. Would be possible to allow us to import WAV files (like we can in Boss Tone Studio), so I can use the app to setup my backtracks?

Thanks

Hi, glad to ear that my app help you ;) (take care, there are still some issues with some advanced features).

I have tried to add this features but was not sure how to do it. The directories are directly available when the Boss is connected, you can directly drag and drop a file (expecting you get the good .wav format). If I made it automatically, I will need to ensure that the file lenght match the tempo of the track. Not sure I can to this easily.

Thanks for the reply. This is the issue I am facing. WAV itself is not an issue, because we can use ffmpeg or other tool to convert the file, but the size matching to an existing track is the challenging part. I am no expert, but makes sense somewhere in the database there are information about the track (like its length) that matches the length of the wav file.

C/C++ is not my area, but if you dont mind, I can try to play with it :)

I do not remember well, but I think the wav format need to be a specific one (like 32bits precision, float at 44,1kHz may be). The wav length must be compatible with the tempo and the number of recorded measures.

Of course, you can play :)
