| Depending on the specifics of your recording you may need to change bits of this. You’ll want to use a WAV file sync, set the channels to two, and then immediately convert from float to complex to do useful things with the data. Then you’ll want a throttle block to set your desired sample rate. If you have recordings in a format other than RIFF 16-bit stereo you may need to add extra conversion steps into your flowgraph, or convert your input file first with other software. | Depending on the specifics of your recording you may need to change bits of this.

| - | One thing you will have to look out for is the 4 GB wav file size limit in GNU Radio. WAV File Source blocks use the metadata of the file which can only store a maximum value of of 4 GB in its 32-bit size variable. Other apps can store more in a WAV container by reading file size information directly | + | One thing you will have to look out for is the 4 GB wav file size limit in GNU Radio.

| To get around this you can use a tool such as sox to chop up your file into smaller chunks. You can estimate using different times and see if you get the chunk sizes you want - the following command will continue to make chunks of the chosen mm:ss length until there’s no more data and iterate a number after the outfile name: | To get around this you can use a tool such as sox to chop up your file into smaller chunks.
