Hi Rob,

Thanks for reporting that strange effect. I just recently added the bext ch=
unk functionality to the RECORDER software and have tested it only with the=
 BWAVWriter software so far.

Maybe the problem lies in the location of the bext chunk within the .wav fi=
le. My software appends the bext chunk to the end of the .wav file, which s=
hould still comply with the RIFF standard. I could imagine that the Reaper =
software expects that information at the beginning of the file before the d=
ata chunk.

Bye the way, the location of the .wav file RIFF chunks is also displayed by=
 the BWAVWriter.

Regards,
Raimund
