Embedding metadata into WAV files

Post by draudio2u »

Is it possible to take WAV files and embed metadata with DP? If so, do I have to convert to BWF?

Thanks.

As far as I know, the only meta-data you can embed with DP, is the data it embeds automatically when you create a .WAV file. It seems to add the author name etc. from settings in the preferences, and adds the time-stamp from where on the timeline the audio was created.

If you're wanting to view and edit the meta-data stored in an existing file, you could try a program like Sample Manager by Audiofile engineering. I'm sure there's others as well.
