    The File Properties / File Information Dialog Box
    Noteworthy is the fact that this information is also available under the View Menu. However, it can only be edited here via File Properties as found under the Edit Menu. If you want to Edit the .wav header, click on the “Wave Header Details” button and a screen similar to this one will appear:

    The Wave Header Editor Dialog Box

    From this dialog box, you can edit/change some of the parameters associated with the opened .wav file. In general, it is not desirable to do so unless you are thoroughly familiar with .wav file structures and desire to accomplish some very specific task that could not otherwise be accomplished. After you have changed the desired parameters, click on “Write Wave Header” and the changes will take effect. You can use this feature to repair corrupted .wav file headers.

    Your Diamond Cut Software also supports the Broadcast Wave (BWF) .wav file format. BWF facilitates metafiles in conjunction with .wav files. More information on BWF can be found in the Glossary of Terms section of this users guide. You can use the “Save As” command found in the File Menu to create this sort of a file. If you want to View or Edit a BWF, click on the “Broadcast Wave Details” button and the following Dialog box will appear:

    The Wave Header Editor Dialog Box

    As you can see, there are a number of data that you can add to the .wav file header not associated with normal .wav files. After you edit your BWF, click on “Update File” and the file header will be modified.
