Poly or Mono?

Yes, for sure.  Also, a 24+ channel poly is kind of a beast, and the only app I know that will crack it for sure is BWF Widget (PC only).  Wave Agent will not deal with a poly with that many channels.

The manual for the latest release of Wave Agent, version 1.2, says it supports "Playback of polyphonic and monophonic WAV and Broadcast Wave files from any source. (Supports up to 32 tracks)."

I'm not trying to be obnoxious, and haven't used it with anything near your track counts, but have you tried 24-32 tracks in 1.2, has that version not worked out for you, was it limited to mono files at high track counts, or are you so frequently above 32 tracks that you just want to stick with Courtney's app for all that sort of work?

No worries...

I've used it a few times at 32ch and it worked fine. What's more curious about Wave Agent is that Sound Devices make the only machines I know of that can record 64 track Polys (070 and PIX270i) but haven't updated Wave Agent to deal with them. I wouldn't use a 64 track Poly format by choice (doesn't fit the workflows of the Post people I work with - including myself), but with the 270i when recording video as well, Mono .wav format isn't supported.
