Uncompressed PCM Wavelab != Audacity

When saving a file with Audacity

Filesize Audacity: 194.913.148 (example of the same file)

and the same in Wavelab

Filesize Wavelab: 194.912.672 (example of the same file)

The filesize is different - why?

The problem here is, that we want to further automate and it works with the Audacity-File, but not with the Wavelab-File.

Difference in fileheader info?

Probably. But why? Once again, Audacity seems to to it 100% right.

In my experience, Wavelab includes RIFF information beyond the bare minimum required to be a complaint .wav or .aiff file.

There’s software and at least one online service that claim to show you the headers, and maybe a comparison of the two files would answer the question?

Probably because WaveLab is compatible with RF 64 by default.

Thx PG. Our batch-process works now. But the filesize is still different from Audacity.

You can use this tool if you want to see what’s in the headers.

Thx PG.
It was the metadata, finally.
