  @jim-atkinson I assume you try to edit compressed audio files, for example MP3 files. Enable to always proxy compressed audio files in the program preferences.

  RE: Vinyl record and restore
  @Greg-Gordon Looks good so far. Stereo audio with 16 Bit, 44.1 kHz. In which directory are you trying to save your MP3? What are your MP3 settings? Can you show us also a screenshot of your export dialog?

  @Karl-Diez Hi In addition to @browj2 's comment, I would advise you not to use mp3 for video editing where there is a need for synchronisation to the video. MP3's are a compressed 'final product' audio format and suffer from going out of sync when

  RE: MP3 conversion glitches
  Actually, correction. I used SF18 to edit the WAVs, but with the new batch converter being terrible, I used SF14's Batch Converter to create the MP3s. Looking into it, this means I used the LAME encoder. Interestingly, I was getting the same results
