Greetings,

I am working on a live recording/looping patch, and I need to find the length of a WAV file, in samples. I am not using [soundfiler], due to inherent dropouts caused when switching WAV files..

I've tried [soundfile_info]...but it outputs a slightly incorrect calculation!!

I've also tried out [shell] with SOX, but SOX outputs its results to STDERR, rather than STDOUT. I've also tried adding '2>&1' to the SOX command, in order to reroute STDERR to STDOUT.

This works fine in my terminal, but when sent from PD I get this message:

"sox FAIL stat: Summary effect: unknown option"

So I am at a bit of a loss. Any recommendations? I am running OSX10.8.

Thanks!!

oh! i just found [wavinfo]. seems to deliver the goods.
