Hello everybody I am trying to process audio files in R and had some problems with files size. I´m using R packages 'audio' and 'sound'. I´m trying a really simple thing and it is working well with small sized .wav files. When I try to open huge audio files I received this error message: "cannot allocate vector of size 2.7 Gb". My job is open in R a 3-hour .wav file, make six 5-minute random audio subsamples, and than save these new files. I have to do the same process +1500 times. My problems is not in build the function to do the job, but in oppening the 3-hour files. Does anybody knows how to handle big audio files in R? Another package that allows me to do this work? I believe this is a really simple thing, but I really don´t know what to do to solve that memory problem.
Thank you very much for your answers, all the best!
