Reading wav files to array

Hi! Is there some built in functionality in WDL-OL that concerns itself with loading wav files? I am absolutely terrified by the prospective of having to link external libraries. It always ends with a heartattack, while crying in front of the computer. I have some basic knowledge of how to read wav files, but I'd rather not having to reinvent the wheel. Thank you for your time!

Sorry, there are no wav file parsing features in WDL or IPlug. You will need to roll your own code or use an external library. libsndfile is probably the best 3rd party library for dealing with sound files, but unfortunately like you suspected, it will be difficult to use it in a plugin context.

I have written a simple WAV reader class a while ago that will read a WAV file into an array. However, it doesn't do any bit conversions. You will find it in the 'wavread' branch of my WDL repo.

Oh, I could certainly use some reference material Tale. But I have to admit that I never got into git and such solutions, and since I can't find it in your master branch, I have to ask you for guidance on how to retrieve your wavread branch. Edit: Nevermind, I managed to retrieve it. Thank you Tale!

I guess you could download the files from here: Or else I could upload them somewhere.

Someone who wants to share an example?
