| Mar 14, 2019 at 8:46 | comment | added | Mark | yeah some DAW's will accept and produce floating point sample values - most of the processing internally will be floating point so it makes sense to store the samples as floating point as there is less conversion to do when you open the file. | |
| Mar 14, 2019 at 6:25 | comment | added | intcreator | @Mark I didn't know there was a difference! My guess is whichever one is more standard. The file I got was exported from a DAW and after I converted just the bit depth with FFMPEG I could import it into a DAW okay so nothing too crazy was going on most likely. | |

| Mar 9, 2019 at 15:32 | comment | added | intcreator | @mark it looks like my projects had a bit depth of 24 and the files I got back had a bit depth of 32, so my project couldn't handle them. I used FFMPEG to convert them to a bit depth of 16 (which I was using in my project) and it works fine now. Feel free to add an answer and I'll accept it. | |

| Mar 9, 2019 at 11:40 | comment | added | Mark | ah yes - you probably have 32-bit float representation in there, rather than integer samples. That's likely going to stuff something up. I have punched in an answer in the hope that we've nailed it. | |
| Mar 9, 2019 at 6:40 | comment | added | intcreator | @mark good call with the bit resolution. The tracks I got back are 32 bits but the originals (and the project I assume) are 16 bits. I'll try converting them and let you know what happens. | |
| Mar 3, 2019 at 0:13 | comment | added | Mark | Actually, why don't you post both tracks. One before going through melodyne and one after coming back from Melodyne. I think there is a corruption issue possibly. | |
| Mar 3, 2019 at 0:12 | comment | added | Mark | Is it possible that they are coming back from Melodyne in a different format? i.e. different endianness, different bit resolution etc? | |
| Mar 2, 2019 at 14:41 | comment | added | intcreator | @Mark hey I tried deleting the auto-generated waveform files but Live just recreates them as is 😕 | |
| Mar 2, 2019 at 7:32 | comment | added | Mark | is there a way of recreating or reimporting the tracks so that the waveforms are re-generated? | |
