Hi ...
Like others here I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of soundBlade and certainly don't expect it's features to be disappointing. Like Barry I wrote to Sonic but received a reply from the newly appointed regional distributors (well known company that certainly knows what its doing). Sonic had passed my mail on.
According to them, soundBlade will open AIFF, WAV, BWF & SD2 files at 16 to 24 bits. Interestingly, they expect it will also offer 44.1 to 192 kHz sample rate support (even though the site says 44.1-96).
FWIW, they don't think it's 'all that far away' ... whatever that means. They've also suggested that whilst soundBlade the multichannel version (with the working title of .. I think ... studioX)is also on its way.
Kind regards,
Paul Blakey
