Yes, the 32bit file makes 4.294.967.296 of the max size the slightly more then 2G. The FAT 23 has 2G limits but the NTFS is a 64-bit based file system with no size limitation. At lest it is what I initial thought. This is why I was so surprised when the WaveLab was barking on me preventing to create the over 2G files. Writing at 88.2/24 a large opera from FM broadcast, following with the after fracas follow up might end up with a program of over 5 hours. In addition, in many instance the timing is very approximate and I would like to have portions to write the file as large as I would like to. I do not writhe the temporary 32Bit file in the WaveLab but do it directs to the disk as the “Name File”. I wonder if anything in the nature of the Wave file that has the limitations and the database files form SQL Server for instance on NTFS have no size limitations. What is the “PCM Raw” format that the WaveLab offers? Is it compressed? Perhaps it would do? The caT |

To make matters worse, apparantly the DVD-R format does not support files bigger than 2GB either. With Nero you can make a session with eg one 4GB file, it burns the dvd, but the file on dvd is only 2GB ! This happens both on PC and on Mac, so it is not an OS problem. Take care when transporting hires multichannel .wavs to mastering houses - better stay 5x mono or else ... |

Samplitude and Sequoia both have "invisible" workarounds which allow almost unlimited recording time. Similar to some other programs, they simply create (behind the scenes) another file just before the 2GB limit is reached. |

Cubase has a proprietary format that is infinite. They call it WAVE64 or something. |

I wonder if I install that 64 bit erosion of Windows then would I escape that max 2G Wav files limitation? |
