Topic: Mac Splitter software for UFX DURec files
Hello,
we have a first version of the splitter tool ready for early preview. The Splitter is needed to split the multichannel interleaved files that the UFX writes on USB sticks and USB drives into single or dual channel files. While there are several ways to do this and had been mentioned here before, the RME Splitter also supports the multiple consecutive files that the UFX writes. So if your recording consists of a total of 10 files each 2 GB, Splitter turns them into one file per channel or stereo channel (selectable). This significantly improves the import process into your DAW, as you no longer have to adjust the file positions, which is quite cumbersome and tideous, especially with long-time recordings.
Some notes on this version:
- it's an early version which should work correctly, but lacks some 'comfort' and information features. For example there is no warning when the target disk is too small or full, no selection of which channels to export, no saving of whatever options, no helpful error messages if something doesn't work. All this will be added later.
- The files written (exported) are wav. When getting bigger than 2 GB they automatically change into RF64 format (same as in DIGICheck). Alternatively you can select CAF (Core Audio Format), which can be read by Logic (RF64 can not).
- Do not delete your source files! While we tested the tool and are pretty sure it works correctly, you should not delete the source files until you are 100% sure the export has worked perfectly.
