unlike most of you out there, i have grown accustom to 7.0 and have not cared to upgraded to a newer version... my only problem with it that i cant seem to figure out is when I save an audio file in mp3 format (in any format for that matter) i re-open the same file later and the total time of the sample will be one hundred thousandths of a second more than before i saved it (for example a file with a time of 00.01.959 will end up being 00.01.961) this may not seem like a big problem, but when i am disecting audio recordings very percisely with sound forge 7.0 and then using mixing software to mix various files, this can cause the clip to become slighty off beat and sloppy sounding. i want to save a sound file and have it be the exact same length as when i saved it. Please help!!! |

Is 'percisely' and oxymoron ;-? You must need to upgrade ;-) Sorry - I don't have anything constructive to cure your problem, other than an MP3 I saved of that same length came back with 25ms added to each end. When saved as WAV it came back exactly the same length as saved. So it sounds like an ongoing problem with the MP3 encoder ..... But I question the wisdom of saving anything as an MP3 in the first place, especially is it is going to be subsequently edited/mixed, and possibly even then re-encoded. Keep ithe whole project all WAV until the last stage. geoff Message last edited on7/26/2007 9:09:10 PM byGeoff_Wood. |

Actually this is part of the MP3 spec, and Sound Forge is behaving completely correctly. Which also accentuates the point of not using MP3 for audio data that is going to be preprocessed in some way. Save MP3 for use as a final output format only. Use WAV for audio that will be used in other fashions. |
