RE: MP3 conversion glitches

@Paul-Fegan If you open the Sound Forge program preferences while holding the SHIFT key, there will be an additional Internal tab available. There you should be able to activate the legacy MP3 encoder. This one might work better.

RE: MP3 conversion glitches

The lengths vary, Rick. They could be as little as a few seconds (opening credits) to just over an hour (a long chapter). I exported the recorded audio as WAV from REAPER (been doing that for years and nothing's changed on that end) and then edited

RE: Syncing 2 audio files!?!?

converted them both into MP3s, still can't line them up perfectly. FYI the audio tracks are NOT identical, 1 has vocals, the other is stripped of the vocals. other than that they're identical.

RE: Short bursts of static

If this is occurring with MP3 and other lossy formats, try enabling "Always proxy compressed formats" in the 'Options> Preferences> General' menu. btw, welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users community @Pat-DeLaquil.

RE: MP3 files skipping / glitching when opened ...

This is curious. I don't think I had done anything beyond what I had previously described. But when I checked a WAV file, it played OK. Then I went into MP3 and again checked "Always proxy compressed formats," and then it played OK. I'll watch this

RE: MP3 conversion glitches

Hi again Paul, which MP3 encoder are you using in SFP-18? The 'new' default encoder or the legacy encoder which must be enabled in the (hidden) 'internal' menu to access it.I will try encoding @192kps/44.1k with both the SFP-18 encoders to check for

RE: Why in Sound Forge Pro 18 is there two version of Channel Converter?

I have no idea, You can contact support but there probably is no logical reason.FYI,, there are also two MP3 encoders. The dumbed-down default encoder is a little faster but the legacy encoder has more settings. The legacy encoder can be enabled in

RE: MP3 conversion glitches

Please do, Rick. It'd be very useful to know if the WAVs are somehow inherently flawed and causing the glitches during the MP3 encoding process. Then I'll have to wonder at what stage the flaws occurred: during initial clean up in SF18, or later

Thanks, Rick. Yes, unfortunately, we can definitely eliminate the audio interface as the cause. Good point. @SP. mentioned the legacy encoder earlier in this thread, but I hadn't tried it yet as I was getting errors in other applications, too. Or so

RE: Glitches

@scott-james This can be caused by editing compressed audio files like MP3. It's recommended to convert them to WAV first. If you enable to always proxy compressed audio files in the Sound Forge program preferences, this will be done
