WAVWRITE Write a WAV Audio File

Section: Input/Ouput Functions

Usage

The wavwrite funtion writes an audio signal to a linear PCM WAV file. The simplest form for its use is
    wavwrite(y,filename)

which writes the data stored in y to a WAV file with the name filename. By default, the output data is assumed to be sampled at a rate of 8 KHz, and is output using 16 bit integer format. Each column of y is written as a separate channel. The data are clipped to the range [-1,1] prior to writing them out. If you want the data to be written with a different sampling frequency, you can use the following form of the wavwrite command:

   wavwrite(y,SampleRate,filename)

where SampleRate is in Hz. Finally, you can specify the number of bits to use in the output form of the file using the form

   wavwrite(y,SampleRate,NBits,filename)

where NBits is the number of bits to use. Legal values include 8,16,24,32. For less than 32 bit output format, the data is truncated to the range [-1,1], and an integer output format is used (type 1 PCM in WAV-speak). For 32 bit output format, the data is written in type 3 PCM as floating point data.
