DFF splitter

Posted by: sbilotta on 07 November 2016

Hi,

I'm looking for a tool that will split a dff file based upon its cue file, without converting it to another format i.e leaving it in dff (or dsf) format.

Does anyone know of such a tool because I can't seem to find one. I read that Audiogate 4 could do it but it doesn't open cue files. Foobar will do it but only via conversion, Cue splitter doesn't support dff, ...

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Stefano,

Did you look at XRECODE? I sometimes use that for splitting high rez files but I haven't used/updated it in a long time so no idea if they have added support for new formats lately.

ComputerAudio forum suggests that Korg Audiogate should be able to split a dff file. Suggest that you try opening the cue file using your text editor program (e.g. notepad or Mac equivalent) to make sure that the composite dff file is correctly named in the cue sheet (quite often I've seen cue sheets refer to a .wav extension file when the combined file is a .flac file).

Also the dff file and cue file need to be in the same directory path.

Hi, the problem is that AUDIOGATE rel. 4 doesn't seem to accept a cue file in input, but only audio files. I checked anyway the correctness of the cue file and it is correct.

I too got the Audiogate (rel. 3) hint from the CA forum, but... no joy.

How do you come to have a large dff+cue file in the first place?

i would go back to the source of that and split into separate tracks right away.

XRECODE 3 currently supports the functionality but currently is not working correctly, however it should be reviewed within the week and hopefully fixed.

Many thanks Arun.
