Folks, Delving into this AIFF-output compatibility issue, it's starting to become apparent that there is likely a problem with both the Finder and BIAS Peak and Deck. I received this from BIAS tech support:
Known issue in Peak: The open dialogue will often not allow you to open certain "legal" file type. work around: set file type in open dialog to "all documents" NOT "all known documents" or drag the file onto the Peak icon.
Now, I still don't know why the Finder is sometimes showing Doggiebox's AIFF files as type AIFC. The files themselves do not contain any AIFC chunk, nor is the filename extension ".aifc". I don't know why the Finder wants to think they are AIFC. So in practice, it seems like this is a Peak/Deck issue. Question: has anyone had problems using AIFF output in any OTHER applications besides Deck/Peak? -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
Speaking of outputting to AIFF, did you ever get a chance to look into the clipping issue with successive drum hits? I sent you some sample files a month or two ago. I've got a few songs I'm working on, but I don't feel that I can release them for consumption until I can get drum tracks that aren't clipping and disorting. :-) If I can help in any way, let me know.

I haven't had enough time yet to throw at this, but I will within the next couple of weeks. Fear not, the issue is far from forgotten :) Thanks for sending me the files, I have them around. One of the ways I plan to address the clipping issue in 1.0.2 is by adding an attenuation slider to set the output level in the export dialog. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
