Re: Putting together wav fles

I would like to write a program that takes 4 or 5 wav
files and puts them together (possibly mixing (or
crossfading by1 or 2 seconds) Kinda like a jukebox
and write the files out to one single wav (or mp3/wma).
Just wanted to check with the braintrust to see if I am
getting into deep waters, or do I need to learn c#?

You don't need to learn C#. A native code compiled VB6 program is perfectly capable of performing such tasks, and is just about as fast as C# when manipulating raw data. Sadly I can't help you with any of the actual coding because I don't know the details of the .wav format [although I'm sure others here do or they can point you to a suitable resource that is easier to follow than simply reading the file format at wotsit.org]. But you need have no worries on the speed side of things. I do graphics myself and VB6 is just as fast as C# when manipulating raw graphics data, so it will certainly be just the same when manipulating raw wav file data.
