Limitless Audio Format Export #6
Comments
Hey thank you for this, for me the most important qualification is I need to be able to import into Pro Tools so right now ADM WAV is pretty much the only target that works for that for the time being. |
Hey, I totally get that, and it's no skin off my back. If someone else were to implement the functionality and submit a PR, would you merge it (assuming it didn't have any other issues)? If so, I'd prefer if you re-opened the ticket and just labelled it with something akin to a won't fix label. That way people don't get confused and think there is actually Limitless Audio Format support. |
I think there's two issues with this format that would complicate a port:

Thanks a ton for pointing out the issues. Maybe LAF could support a mixed mode. I'll reach out. |
Do you know what workflow Limitless is targeting or any software that uses it? This is the first I've heard of it. |
To my knowledge it is made as a part of this github project. The project is designed largely to decode object-based media formats. |
I reached out and per this issue on Cavern's github, the object mode is mixed. Just not documented as such. |
Limitless is an archival format intended to be 1:1 compatible with ADM BWF. Compared to ADM BWF, it has way less muxing overhead, and silence doesn't consume the disk. It generally has a 90% reduced file size while still being raw PCM. Cavernize has the capability to convert between BWF and LAF. I made it to store DCPs in less space.
Polar coordinates are only for channel-only mode. In object mode, it's allocentric Cartesian. |
What about just making an IAB MXF? That does all that stuff. |
There is no low level documentation available for it. |
Limitless Audio Format is a newer audio format that is intended to be a free, open, and as implied largely limitless alternative to the currently available object-based audio formats. Providing support for this format could prove useful if the more advanced audio needs are necessary.
