Description

Load a wav file from disk and create a Sample object.

Usage

loadSample(filename, filecheck=TRUE)

Arguments

filename

a string giving the path and the name of the wav file.

filecheck

logical. If FALSE, no check for existance and read permission of the file will be performed.

Details

All kinds of wav files are supported: mono / stereo, 8 / 16 bits per sample, 1000 to 48000 samples/second.

Value

the Sample object that is equivalent to the wav file.
