How Do I...make a reference file (.anl)

[dumbfungus]

I notice there are a few ".anl" files included with Harbal, but can I make my own? Do I just need to take a ".wav" and change the file extension?

May be a stupid question but I would like to know if it is possible.

Thanks,

Anytime you load a file into Har-Bal a reference file is automatically created in the source directory where the file was originially located.

For example

I have a song in C:\mysongs\The beat.wav

If I load this song into Har-Bal an (.anl) file will be created in C:\mysong\The beat.anl

That was actually a great question. We realized that we hadn't touched on this process enough.

Thanks again

A clarification on Earles point. Technically when you load a file an analysis file is created which you can use as a non-playable reference, either as is, or modified by a HarBal filter (.mfl file). As you also suggested, you can simply load a wav file as a reference (no need to change the extension) and then you will have a playable reference. Obviously, if you don't need a playable reference and you are compiling your own style references then you can save considerable disk space by just using the analysis file for the track.

Hope this helps.
