Occasionally I have been asked to resolve a time stamping problem where fro one reason or another I have needed to modify the time stamp embedded in the wave file.
It is possible to modify the user time stamp in Pro Tools but Pro Tools doesn’t seem to enable you to modify the original time stamp.
So what are the solutions…
One is to spot the errant file at the time you would like it to have and then Consolidate it. This will create a new file with the correct original time stamp.
However if you want to simply modify the meta-data in the original file then you have to leave the cosy world of Pro Tools and set a free application called Wave Agent from Sound Devices who make portable audio flash card recorders.
They have produced a piece of free software that will enable you to edit the meta-data embedded in a BWF (Broadcast wave Format) wav file.
They have also produced this helpful video to show you some of the features of Sound Agent
