Go to the File menu and choose "Open Any..." Choose your data file and open it. It will bring up a dialog box asking you to change the header info. Click OK and go to Hack menu and choose "Header Change". Enter the values you want and click "Save Info". Then go to the File menu and choose "Save a Copy" to save it as a soundfile.

Question: How to introduce variance into audio (resulting from databending video as raw data)

Question: How to introduce variance into audio (resulting from databending video as raw data)

(possible) Answer: Perform databending/convert video files into raw data with Audacity. Export as AIFF. Create new copy of original Quicktime video file. Delete audio track. Open raw data AIFF in Quicktime. Copy AIFF. Select All in original Quicktime video file. Add to Selection and Scale. Save As Quicktime Movie. Resulting Quicktime video file will have original video combined w/raw data audio but raw data audio will now be time shifted to duration of original video file.
