There's a built-in HyperCard command that translates SoundCap files to snd resources, and I believe it has options for what sampling speed to use. There are one or two PD stacks which have this information; I suggest using them, as they have a good deal of documentation about what needs to be done. ---- Now, what I'D like to know is this -- using HyperCard, I can change SoundCap format sounds into snd resources. How can I change snd resources back into SoundCap files? I have several interesting sounds in snd format that I would like to change back to SoundCap format, so that I can use them as StartupSounds using the SoundInit program. Anyone got any advice on this? "...for we have Vim... for we have Vigor... for we have Advanced Nuclear Weaponry!"
