Hi
I recorded a track in GarageBand and exported it. The resulting .aiff plays fine in iTunes. But there's a lot of noise and I wanted to run it through Audacity for noise reduction. (Before everyone jumps on me, yes, I know I should buy better mics, shielded cables etc. and eliminate the noise at the source...) When I opened the file in Audacity, Audacity crashed without any message. So I opened it in Sox, trying to convert .aiff to .wav . Sox gave the message "Failed reading (path/filename): AIFF: no sound data on input file" and quit. Does GB use a proprietary AIFF format or something? It's a fun freebie toy but I'd really like to be able to do further work on the output files with other tools. thx DF |

No, the AIFF exported from GB is the normal one. For example, it is directly readable in Pro Tools etc.
Try the usual repairing of permissions and check that you have the latest versions of Audacity / iTunes / GB / OSX in case there is something going on under the bonnet that is affecting the encoding / conversion. |
