What is a .VPW file?
The .VPW file extension is used for audio files that are made with a program called VoxPro. VoxPro is a tool used for recording and editing sound. When you make an audio file in VoxPro, it saves it as a .VPW file. This type of file is special because it has a unique part in it, called a Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) chunk. This part helps the VoxPro program to remember and apply any changes or effects you added to your audio, like making it louder or adding an echo.
To open a .VPW file, you need to use the VoxPro program by Wheatstone. This is because the .VPW file is made in a way that only VoxPro can understand all the special edits you've made.
Here's something interesting: If you have a .VPW file and you want to turn it into a more common audio file, like a .WAV file, you can do so by changing its name. For example, if your file is called "myaudio.vpw", you can rename it to "myaudio.wav". However, there's a catch. When you play this new .WAV file, it will play the original sound you recorded, but it might not include all the special edits or effects you added in VoxPro. It will also play any sound you added from other files.
A little background: VoxPro was originally made by a company called Audion Labs, but it was bought by another company called Wheatstone Corporation.
