Subject:Wave display gone 'chunky' Posted by: abrogard Date:3/26/2003 5:54:37 AM I now have my soundforge 4.5 running on a new machine - a 2Gig CPU with 128M and - I think - an on board sound card. It is Win2K and the device manager shows a 'C-Media Wave Device' and 'CM18738/C3DX PCI Audio Device'. That's all I know. On my old Win2K machine I used SoundForge extensively and it was fine. It is fine now. Except the display of the waveform now seems 'chunky' compared to what I remember. As though there's insufficient samples being taken. Or they've all been arbitrarily clipped at the same height. Instead of seeing a great bundle of fine lines stuck together, all of different heights, I seem to see bundles of thick lines of different heights stuck together, like blocks of wood stuck together. Or - alternatively - when I recorded simple finger clicking I got only single fine lines for each click. It is supposed to be sampling mono at 14,400. I have played with the level zoom in and out and the time zoom in and out as much as I can but I can't get rid of this appearance. Maybe I'm imagining things but I certainly don't think so. If this makes sense to anyone and they've got any ideas on it I'd like to hear them. regards, abrogard.
