how to save file in correct wav format? To make tada.wav and a.wav the same...
posted by: Sergey_Vl 11-Jul-2022/7:43:06-7:00
Probably
write/binary %a.wav wav1/data
or perhaps
save/as %a.wav wav1 'wav
in Red.

A WAV file must have a header, and wav1/data is data without a header.
Now I take the header from another file:
header: read/binary/part %/c/windows/media/tada.wav 43
write/binary file header
write/append/binary file to-binary wav/data
but this is probably wrong.
Red doesn't seem to know how to work with sound files at all:

Did you use the right single quote on 'wav?

Incorrect quote, but even changing it did not help

Pardon the pun, but it sounds like REBOL and Red don't support much sound.
posted by: Kaj 15-Jul-2022/5:33:21-7:00
Rebol2 is the most complete in terms of functionality, and neither R3 nor Red have been able to compare with it so far.
posted by: Sergey_Vl 15-Jul-2022/7:49:42-7:00
Oldes' R3 has more LOAD codecs, but it doesn't seem to support SAVE types.

We're in the same situation as Linux distros: Linux can do everything you want, but there is never one Linux distro that does everything you need.

My R3 supports WAV saving.. check https://github.com/Oldes/Rebol3/blob/90b97564c64d60bd8391f3d69754e184517ebf33/src/tests/units/codecs-test.r3#L160

Something wrong...
in Rebol2
>>a: %adat.wav write/binary %tada.wav append read/part a 43 reverse skip read/binary a 43
saves a correct/playable wav file with "inverted" sound.
in Rebol3
>> a: load/as %tada.wav 'wav
>> a/data: reverse to-binary a/data
>> save %adat.wav a
>> a/data: reverse to-binary a/data
>> save %tada_2.wav a
the %adat.wav file has data shifted one byte to the right, and is played with distortion
file %tada_2.wav is completely identical to %tada.wav
perhaps "to-binary" does not correctly handle two-byte values with zeros on the edges?
posted by: Sergey_Vl 19-Jul-2022/8:18:48-7:00
BINARY! is a generic series of bytes. If you have multi-byte values, you need to do the rest of decoding and encoding yourself.
Also, wav/data is already BINARY!, so you shoudln't need to-binary. And REVERSE works in-place, so you don't need to reassign wav/data.
Note that Meta will have arrays of other types than bytes, for example NATURAL16!, so you will be able to access data such as wavs more naturally and more efficiently.

In Rebol2, the sound turns over to the ear normally. If you do not add /binary, then the return of the 0Ah correction is added to the line feed byte 0Dh and the sound deteriorates.
About Meta - I'm waiting for its development and I hope that it will be possible to use it locally, without being tied to a third-party service/Internet.
posted by: Sergey_Vl 19-Jul-2022/18:25:47-7:00
Is that R3? In your R2 example it was BINARY!.
A 16-bit VECTOR! should process naturally.
Local Meta will happen eventually, but it is years away. It will probably be a slower interpreter.
posted by: Kaj 20-Jul-2022/4:55:10-7:00
In R3, you're converting the vector to binary and then you're reversing it, so all the 16-bit samples have their bytes swapped.
posted by: Kaj 20-Jul-2022/4:59:38-7:00
VECTOR! is not BINARY! ? Where can I learn more about this type? There is not much information in the official documentation (http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/datatypes/vector.html).
if move data from reverse file (1 byte in tada.wav or 83 byte in Ring03.waw (c:/windows/media)) then the data in the files created in R2 and R3 become identical and correct when played back.
posted by: Sergey_Vl 20-Jul-2022/8:55:20-7:00
find in Red (https://github.com/red/docs/blob/master/en/datatypes/vector.adoc) is it correect to R3?
but Red can reverse vector:
>> a: make vector! [1 2 3 4 5 3]
== make vector! [1 2 3 4 5 3]
>> ? a
A is a vector! value. length: 6 make vector! [1 2 3 4 5 3]
>> reverse a
== make vector! [3 5 4 3 2 1]
posted by: Sergey_Vl 20-Jul-2022/9:01:33-7:00
BINARY! and VECTOR! are different types. BINARY! is like a byte VECTOR!, but it existed much earlier, so the type system is not completely consistent anymore.
I don't know of any other VECTOR! documentation than the official ones, and I don't know if the Red implementation is completely compatible with R3.

Uhmm Meta...no other programming language forces you to depend on a server to compile a program.
I guess being dependent on someone and lack of privacy will two strength of Meta.
posted by: Steven_o 21-Jul-2022/1:54:09-7:00
Steven_o, you forgot about Anvil :)
But seriously, I think the current implementation and the closeness of the Mata code are connected only with the desire of Kaj to finish it to the first version and only then open / publish the server part. So that there is no branching of a language that has not been fully thought out and completed.
posted by: Sergey_Vl 21-Jul-2022/9:09:28-7:00
Sergey, yes, that's one of the reasons. The code is currently fairly experimental and not fit for release.
Steven, as I said above, local Meta will happen. But it's a lot more work, and I don't have a magic hat to pull it from.
There are plenty of service- or even web-based development platforms, indeed including Anvil. They are very popular. Also, many people and organisations just host their source code with external providers.
I agree that independence and resilience are important. But it's hard to imagine being more dependent than on the creator of your daily programming language, whichever way you turn it. If you don't trust him, you definitely shouldn't use it. On the other hand, if you want to make local Meta the top priority, you can contact me privately to fund it:
language.metaproject.frl#when
posted by: Kaj 21-Jul-2022/13:09:35-7:00
Anvil is a Saas. Personally I wouldn't want to hand my entire business to a company like Anvil which can and will shut you down or change policies at any time and for any reason.
Python, C, Php, Go, Rust, Rebol, Red and the rest of programming languages I use regularly are Programming Laguages not compilers the cloud.
I don't depend on Van Rossum, Ritchie, Lerdorf or any of them.
If the creator of Rebol stops developing it, as it has happened I am still able to write Rebol programs, compile them and run them and even fork it like Oldes and others have done.
I don't have many resources. How much money are you looking for and what would be your timeline ? Is your end goal a programming language as a subscription ?
posted by: Steven_o 21-Jul-2022/14:16:35-7:00
Creators of REBOL - and other - projects stopping is historically a serious problem. Usually, noone is willing or able to continue them. I tried to go along for a quarter century, but it ruined me, so now it's the reason for creating Meta.
The goals are here:
language.metaproject.frl#goals
There will be a mix of products, including subscription services, but as you can see, that's not the only goal or the end goal. We'll see what works. Funding of open-source projects is a well-known problem, so I have to be creative.
As I mentioned, in the current timeline, local Meta is years away, because it depends on a lot of other work. So currently, it would require substantial funding and changes to the development plan to do it earlier. It would still take considerable time, because a lot of dependent work would also need to be accelerated.
On the other hand, if you have patience, the dependent work will be done first, hopefully with some funding, and there will come a point where local Meta will be the next logical step.

To be clear, there is an open source version of Anvil server. I run an automated backup routine of all my apps and data, so that I can pop everything up to a self-hosted server if Anvil's hosted product ever get hit by an asteroid. And to be doubly clear, I do the same thing with any Rebol web app hosted on a third party server. Running web apps in *any* environment typically relies on third party servers. I wouldn't use Anvil if there wasn't a drop-in open source replacement.

I'm amazed that people make such broad and critical comments as:
'Anvil is a Saas. Personally I wouldn't want to hand my entire business to a company like Anvil which can and will shut you down or change policies at any time and for any reason.'
without doing any research.
'Anvil offers an SAAS solution for convenience, but you're not required to use it.'
is instead correct.

Also.. instead of

one can write just:
```
a: load %tada.wav
```
