WAV files and sampler chunks
Author
Hi all,
I'm trying to add a loop point to a WAV file so I can run it through one of the Nintendo DS tools to convert it into a usable format. That's done by adding a sampler ("smpl") chunk to the wave file.
I've written a tool to add sampler chunks myself, and it's worked fine up till now - I think that was just luck.
Now when I try to run this WAV file through my tool, I get the oh-so-helpful error message: "waveconv: Unexpected exception" (And that's after I turned on "verbose" mode, grr).
So, is there something fancy I need to do to add a sampler chunk to a wave file? Here's the code I currently have:
I assume that something has to be a multiple of something else, but I don't know what. I've had a look at various sites and not found anything relevant on any sites.
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a free program I can use to add a loop point to a wave file and export a sampler chunk?
I'm not sure what forum this should go in either (Since Music and Sound is under "The creative side"), so I've just bunged it here. Mods, feel free to move it if you think it belongs somewhere else.
Cheers,
Steve
Hi,
Did you find any solution for that?
Because I'm looking for the same thing : a software that could add the sampler chunk for me.
Else, do anybody has an answer?
Thanks!

I did find the software "Wavosaur" which is free and can add looping info easily.
I'm gonna stick to this one I think.
