WAV files do not work with E4L Master Bus recording about envelopforlive HOT 7 OPEN

should also mention, Live 10 64 bit. I've tried recording AmbiX files and B-format both.

and amazing work by the way, this is really streamlining my process!

Hi Scott - sorry to hear about this issue. What happens when you try to drag the WAV file onto the sampler? Is there any error message displayed in Ableton's status bar or help window? Or does just nothing at all happen?

Scott - just realized you mentioned WAV files. The WAV format doesn't actually work with the Max multi-channel sfrecord device. You'll need to use the AIFF format here, which should work okay. Let me know if that sorts things out?

Hi Mark, totally understand not fixing the above issue.

I think the only way multichannel wav recording and playback that has worked for me is by using spat.sfrecord~ and spat.sfplay~ ... seems the ircam folks made those objects to specifically get around the issues with using wavs with the standard objects.

Yes - I wish we could use those spat objects but unfortunately since they are on a commercial license and our project is GPL we are not able to bundle them here.

Would be great if the Max team can fix this issue at some point... it is probably not too complex of an issue. Part of me would like to just implement our own sfrecord/sfplay objects, but that would really be a duplicated effort, and it's not too inconvenient to work with AIFF files, so we'll probably just continue waiting...
