Title: PVOC won't convert .wav to .ana
Post by: shpitz on July 31, 2015, 01:28:32 PM

Hello,
I'm trying to convert .wav file to .ana.

I tried to type in the terminal:

Code: [Select]

pvoc anal 1 bell24bit.wav bell.ana
And got this error message:

Code: [Select]

Application doesn't work with this type of infile.
The way I understand it from the documentation, the input file should be a sound file and the output should be an analysis file.
So what is the issue? What am i doing wrong?

Never mind, I already found what the issue was. It seems that pvoc takes only mono input. I tried to use a stereo file.

I keep getting this:

Code: [Select]

pvoc anal 1 vorpalsound_MONO.wav bell.ana
ERROR: INVALID DATA
ERROR: Cannot open output file bell.ana
My launchd.conf is set as

Code: [Select]

setenv  CDP_SOUND_EXT=wav

I'm on Yosemite 10.10.5 and I've followed by the steps in the manual config pdf as well as the step outlined here (http://"http://unstablesound.net/cdpforum/index.php?topic=49.0"). 

Could the environmental.plist file be in conflict with the file I've created per the manualconfig.pdf instructions? It's just the PVOC not working.  Processes not involving PVOC works great. 

Help please.

Got this to work.  Just uninstalled/deleted everything including soundloom and just reinstalled again using the Yosemite instructions to create the environment.plst file.
