cheers rich.im getting wav file into riffworks standard but no sound.just a a quick hissing sound and then nothing.followed the help guide but still no luck.

Your Wave File has to be 44100 Hz 16 Bit and stereo. Any Other wave will cause problems.

You can use audacity to convert whatever you have to a compatible wave and it should work.

This hiss is most likely due to non 16 bit format.

If you recorded a wave file of a snake you'll probably only ever get a quick hissing sound Chris

Try this article for Mono to stereo track in audacity.

Unless the Snake got other plans in mind

Can you share the wave file somewhere so i can take a look. if its Small you can email it to me. My Email address is in [intelliriffer at gmail dot com] about box.

thanks ive got it now.cheers.im just working out the tempo part now and length.set a wave to be tempo 120 and length 2 bars but the wav file ends within the 2 bars which creates a gap.any ideas as to what im doing wrong?thanks for support

[atalwar]

That is because your wave is not long enough to fill 2 bars at 120 BPM. or is not a 120 BPM file.

For 120 Tempo and 2 Bars your wave Should be 4 Seconds long.( for a 4/4 meter)

You can try this in audacity. Generate>Click Track
it will create a Metronome Track of your desired tempo and measures. there you can check how it relates to your wave file. and you can adjust your wave / tempo accordingly.

The Minimum Length that RW can Take is 1 bar or measure , so you might need to change the tempo of the Riff to fit within a measure or 2.

Below are some Formulas if you need to calculate bars or tempo(BPM) or anything for a unknown wave file or need to edit the wave to fit within your needs.

(60000 x timeSig x 4) / (1000 x BPM) = Length of a measure or bar in Sec

(60000 x timeSig x 4 x 44100) / (1000 x BPM) = Length of a measure or bar in Samples. (for 44100 or 44.1 khz wav)

where timesig can be 4/4 or 3/4 etc

Hope it Helps.
