[Flac] Re: James Chapman FLAC 1.1.2 File Filter for Cool Edit Pro 2

[Didier Eggerickx]

Hello,

Different how? When displaying the wave in Cool Edit (it's to say, the FLAC 
file itself is opened and decoded through the Chapman filter), the audio 
wave result shows little differences : changes in frequencies at a given 
time, lower or higher; not many changes, but changes! I attribute this to 
the filter, because when decoding with your soft, already used for encoding, 
no problem at all, the two waves are exactly identical, in Cool Edit, and 
with a binary comparison tool like Windiff, Dos FC, or so...no difference at 
all!!
Can you confirm this?

Didier
