My part in the development of this software has unfortunately ended. There are many wavefile forks; I welcome them all and wish them the best.
Thank you all very much. Working on wavefile was a lot of fun for me. I am happy to see that it was useful for so many people.
Microsoft, owner of GitHub, was one of the main backers of the current fascist regime in Brazil and also of the coup d'etat that led to the present situation of my country.
It paid well: The brazilian government was required to run all its systems on open-source software. After the coup d'etat this changed, the goverment began purchasing Microsoft licenses and migrating all their systems to Windows.
It is not just a case of business malpractice - there is a genocide going on in Brazil and many people, including myself, have lived under constant death threats for the past couple years bacause of our positions against the current fascist regime. Many have been murdered or incarcerated. Poverty and violence skyrocketed.
This software will keep being released in NPM as always - only the repository will be moved. Projects depending on this software will not be affected.
For Microsoft owners and collaborators: you have a lot of blood in your hands. I will not share my work with people of your kind.

// Load a wav file buffer as a WaveFile object
let wav = new WaveFile(buffer);
// Check some of the file properties
console.log(wav.container);
console.log(wav.chunkSize);
console.log(wav.fmt.chunkId);
// Call toBuffer() to get the bytes of the file.
// You can write the output straight to disk:
let wavBuffer = wav.toBuffer();
// Call toDataURI() to get the file as a DataURI:
let wavDataURI = wav.toDataURI();Use the fromScratch(numChannels, sampleRate, bitDepth, samples) method.
let wav = new WaveFile();
// Create a mono wave file, 44.1 kHz, 32-bit and 4 samples
wav.fromScratch(1, 44100, '32', [0, -2147483, 2147483, 4]);
fs.writeFileSync(path, wav.toBuffer());Samples can be informed interleaved or de-interleaved. If they are de-interleaved, WaveFile will interleave them. In this example they are de-interleaved.
// Stereo, 48 kHz, 8-bit, de-interleaved samples
// WaveFile interleave the samples automatically
wav.fromScratch(2, 48000, '8', [
[0, 2, 4, 3],
[0, 1, 4, 3]
]);
fs.writeFileSync(path, wav.toBuffer());Possible values for the bit depth are:
"4" - 4-bit IMA-ADPCM
"8" - 8-bit
"8a" - 8-bit A-Law
"8m" - 8-bit mu-Law
"16" - 16-bit
"24" - 24-bit
"32" - 32-bit
"32f" - 32-bit floating point
"64" - 64-bit floating point
You can also use any bit depth between "8" and "53", like "11", "12", "17", "20" and so on.
Resolutions other than 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit (integer), 32-bit (fp) and 64-bit (fp) are implemented as WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE and may not be supported by some players.
const WaveFile = require('wavefile').WaveFile;
wav = new WaveFile();
// Read a wav file from a buffer
wav.fromBuffer(buffer);
// Read a wav file from a base64 string
wav.fromBase64(base64);
// Read a wav file from a data URI
wav.fromDataURI(dataURI);You can create (or overwrite) tags on files with the WaveFile.setTag() method.
// Write the ICMT tag with some comments to the file
wav.setTag("ICMT", "some comments");To get the value of a tag (if it exists), use WaveFile.getTag():
console.log(wav.getTag("ICMT"));
// some commentsYou can delete a tag with WaveFile.deleteTag():
wav.deleteTag("ICMT");You can create cue points using the WaveFile.setCuePoint() method. The method takes a object with the cue point data and creates a cue point in the corresponding position of the file. The only required attribute of the object is position, a number representing the position of the point in milliseconds:
// to create a cue point
wav.setCuePoint({position: 1500});You can also create cue points with labels by defining a label attribute:
// to create a cue point with a label
wav.setCuePoint({position: 1500, label: 'some label'});To delete a cue point use WaveFile.deleteCuePoint() informing the index of the point. Points are ordered according to their position. The first point is indexed as 1.
wav.deleteCuePoint(1);Mind that creating or deleting cue points will change the index of other points if they exist.
To list all the cue points in a file, in the order they appear:
let cuePoints = wav.listCuePoints();This method will return a list with cue points ordered as they appear in the file.
[
{
position: 500, // the position in milliseconds
label: 'cue marker 1',
end: 1500, // the end position in milliseconds
dwName: 1,
dwPosition: 0,
fccChunk: 'data',
dwChunkStart: 0,
dwBlockStart: 0,
dwSampleOffset: 22050, // the position as a sample offset
dwSampleLength: 3646827, // the region length as a sample count
dwPurposeID: 544106354,
dwCountry: 0,
dwLanguage: 0,
dwDialect: 0,
dwCodePage: 0,
},
//...
];You can create regions using the WaveFile.setCuePoint() method. Regions are cue points with extra data.
If you define a not null end attribute in the object describing the cue point, the point will be created as a region. The end attribute should be the end of the region, in milliseconds, counting from the start of the file, and always greater than the position of the point:
// to create a region with a label:
wav.setCuePoint({position: 1500, end: 2500, label: 'some label'});You can also define the following optional properties when creating a region:
- dwPurposeID
- dwCountry
- dwLanguage
- dwDialect
- dwCodePage
wavefile can handle existing RIFX files and create RIFX files from scratch. Files created from scratch will default to RIFF; to create a file as RIFX you must define the container:
wav.fromScratch(1, 48000, '16', [0, 1, -3278, 327], {"container": "RIFX"});RIFX to RIFF and RIFF to RIFX:
// Turn a RIFF file to a RIFX file
wav.toRIFX();
// Turn a RIFX file to a RIFF file
wav.toRIFF();16-bit 8000 Hz mono wave files can be compressed as IMA-ADPCM:
// Encode a 16-bit wave file as 4-bit IMA-ADPCM:
wav.toIMAADPCM();IMA-ADPCM files compressed with wavefile will have a block align of 256 bytes.
If the audio is not 16-bit it will be converted to 16-bit before compressing. Compressing audio with sample rate different from 8000 Hz or more than one channel is not supported and will throw errors.
To decode 4-bit IMA-ADPCM as 16-bit linear PCM:
// Decode 4-bit IMA-ADPCM as 16-bit:
wav.fromIMAADPCM();Decoding always result in 16-bit audio. To decode to another bit depth:
// Decode 4-bit IMA-ADPCM as 24-bit:
wav.fromIMAADPCM("24");16-bit wave files (mono or stereo) can be encoded as A-Law:
// Encode a 16-bit wave file as 8-bit A-law:
wav.toALaw();If the audio is not 16-bit it will be converted to 16-bit before compressing.
To decode 8-bit A-Law as 16-bit linear PCM:
// Decode 8-bit A-Law as 16-bit:
wav.fromALaw();Decoding always result in 16-bit audio. To decode to another bit depth:
// Decode 8-bit A-Law as 24-bit:
wav.fromALaw("24");16-bit wave files (mono or stereo) can be encoded as mu-Law:
// Encode a 16-bit wave file as 8-bit mu-law:
wav.toMuLaw();If the audio is not 16-bit it will be converted to 16-bit before compressing.
To decode 8-bit mu-Law as 16-bit linear PCM:
// Decode 8-bit mu-Law as 16-bit:
wav.fromMuLaw();Decoding always result in 16-bit audio. To decode to another bit depth:
// Decode 8-bit mu-Law as 24-bit:
wav.fromMuLaw("24");You can change the bit depth of the audio with the toBitDepth(bitDepth) method. WaveFile only change the bit depth of the samples; no dithering is done.
// Load a wav file with 32-bit audio
let wav = new WaveFile(fs.readFileSync("32bit-file.wav"));
// Change the bit depth to 24-bit
wav.toBitDepth("24");
// Write the new 24-bit file
fs.writeFileSync("24bit-file.wav", wav.toBuffer());You can change the sample rate of the audio with the toSampleRate() method. By default, cubic interpolation is used to resample the data. You can choose between cubic, sinc, point and linear.
// Load a wav file with 16kHz audio
let wav = new WaveFile(fs.readFileSync("16kHz-file.wav"));
// Change the sample rate to 44.1kHz
// using the default configuration
wav.toSampleRate(44100);
// this is the same as:
// wav.toSampleRate(44100, {method: "cubic"});
// Write the new 44.1kHz file
fs.writeFileSync("44100Hz-file.wav", wav.toBuffer());To use another method:
// Change the sample rate to 44.1kHz using sinc
wav.toSampleRate(44100, {method: "sinc"});- point: Nearest point interpolation, lowest quality, no LPF by default, fastest
- linear: Linear interpolation, low quality, no LPF by default, fast
- cubic: Cubic interpolation, use LPF by default (default method)
- sinc: Windowed sinc interpolation, use LPF by default, slowest
You can turn the LPF on and off for any resampling method:
// Will use 'sinc' method with no LPF
wav.toSampleRate(44100, {method: "sinc", LPF: false});
// Will use 'linear' method with LPF
wav.toSampleRate(44100, {method: "linear", LPF: true});The default LPF is a IIR LPF. You may define what type of LPF will be used by changing the LPFType attribute on the toSampleRate() param. You can use IIR or FIR:
// Will use 'linear' method with a FIR LPF
wav.toSampleRate(44100, {method: "linear", LPF: true, LPFType: 'FIR'});
// Will use 'linear' method with a IIR LPF, the default
wav.toSampleRate(44100, {method: "linear", LPF: true});You need to convert compressed files to standard PCM before resampling:
To resample a mu-Law file:
// convert the file to PCM
wav.fromMuLaw();
// resample
wav.toSampleRate(44100, {method: "sinc"});
// back to mu-Law
wav.toMuLaw();To add BWF data to a file you can use the bext property:
// Load a wav file with no "bext"
let wav = new WaveFile(fs.readFileSync("32bit-file.wav"));
// Add some BWF metadata
wav.bext.originator = "wavefile";
// Write the new BWF file
fs.writeFileSync("32bit-file-with-bext.wav", wav.toBuffer());By default wavefile will not insert a "bext" chunk in new files or in files that do not already have a "bext" chunk unless a property of WaveFile.bext is changed from it's default value. See below the full list of properties in WaveFile.bext.
wavefile have limited support of RF64 files. It possible to read (at least some) RF64 files, but changing the bit depth or applying compression to the samples will result in a RIFF file.
wavefile support reading and writing iXML and _PMX chunks.
To get the value of iXML or _PMX chunks:
/** @type {string} */
let iXMLValue = wav.getiXML();
/** @type {string} */
let _PMXValue = wav.get_PMX();To set the value of iXML or _PMX chunks:
wav.setiXML(iXMLValue);
wav.set_PMX(_PMXValue);The value for XML chunks must always be a string.
the chunkSize of the XML chunks will be adjusted when toBuffer() is called.
Samples are stored in data.samples as a Uint8Array.
To get the samples as a Float64Array you should use the getSamples() method:
let samples = wav.getSamples();If the file is stereo or have more than one channel then the samples will be returned de-interleaved in a Array of Float64Array objects, one Float64Array for each channel. The method takes a optional boolean param interleaved, set to false by default. If set to true, samples will be returned interleaved. Default is de-interleaved.
// Both will return de-interleaved samples
samples = wav.getSamples();
samples = wav.getSamples(false);
// To get interleaved samples
samples = wav.getSamples(true);You can use any typed array as the output of getSamples():
// Will return the samples de-interleaved,
// packed in a array of Int32Array objects, one for each channel
samples = wav.getSamples(false, Int32Array);
// will return the samples de-interleaved,
// packed in a array of Int16Array objects, one for each channel
let samples = getSamples(false, Int16Array);
// will return the samples interleaved, packed in a Int16Array
let samples = getSamples(true, Int16Array);To get and set samples in a WaveFile instance you should use WaveFile.getSample(index) and WaveFile.setSample(index, sample). The 'index' is the index of the sample in the sample array, not the index of the bytes in data.samples.
Example:
wav = new WaveFile();
// some samples
let samples = [561, 1200, 423];
// Create a WaveFile using the samples
wav.fromScratch(1, 8000, "16", samples);
// Getting and setting a sample in the WaveFile instance:
wav.getSample(1); // return 1200, the value of the second sample
wav.setSample(1, 10); // change the second sample to 10
wav.getSample(1); // return 10, the new value of the second sample- 0 to 255 for 8-bit
- -32768 to 32767 for 16-bit
- -8388608 to 8388607 for 24-bit
- -2147483648 to 2147483647 for 32-bit
- -1.0 to 1.0 for 32-bit (float)
- -1.0 to 1.0 for 64-bit (float)
Floating point samples may be defined out of range. Integer samples will be clamped on overflow.
