[comp.sys.mac.misc] Sound File Question

warlocks@leland.Stanford.EDU (Emmett Witchel) (06/04/91)

I have a problem & I wondered if I could get some
help.  I wrote a bunch of signal processing stuff
in Mathematica.  Mathematica assumes that the input
is a list of numbers.  What I would like to do is

1. Convert a standard mac sound file (data or snd, but
I assume data would be easier) to a list of numbers.

2. Convert a list of numbers to a sound file.

I am no res-edit jockey, but I understand most of 
what is involved.  From what I gather one main 
problem is that the sound file uses all 256 characters,
making it unopenable as a file by any text editor.
If there is some way of dealing with this I would
really appreciate the help.  Even a reference (more
specific than Inside Mac) would help
Thanks
