@Dave_W Don't edit MP3 files. Always convert them to WAV first or enable in the Sound Forge program preferences to proxy compressed file formats. MP3 is used as an end consumer format for playback. My guess is, that editing MP3 files in modern

RE: MP3 conversion glitches

Hi Rick, Just thought I'd pop back here with a few updates: 1) firstly, the last batch of audiobook files I sent the client were fine (phew), but I'm not sure why. I batched them with SF13 or SF14 Batch Converter 2) I bought and installed a new

RE: MP3 conversion glitches

OK, so here's what I've done: 1) in SF18, enabled Legacy MP3 encoder 2) opened a pristine 192 kbps audiobook file that was edited a year ago by someone else 3) selected 1 minute of audio, played it through — no errors 4) ran Trim/Crop just to cut

RE: Software is glitching.

Does this behavior occur with PCM (.wav) file types or just MP3 or other lossy formats? btw, welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users community @Robert-Paul

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: Kodak C330 audio

@nicolesharp100 Of note is that Video Deluxe won't export MP4 ie H264 below 24fps; I don't know if VPX does. VPX will add duplicate frames as necessary to "fill up" the frame rate to 24 (or whatever you set) for export. Best to set the desired

RE: MP3 conversion glitches

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: MP3 conversion glitches

@SP. and @rraud it's possible you guys were correct from the very start: maybe it IS this setting about editing MP3s in a non-compressed proxy file. I've tried this in SF18 and I can't replicate the issue so far. However, what confuses me is that

RE: MP3 conversion glitches

Thanks, SP and I hear you. But my worry here is that if I edit it a WAV and need to save it to a 192 kbps MP3, that SF18 is doing something screwy with it that isn't happening in (for instance) SF14. It was displaying other really strange behaviour,

RE: MP3 conversion glitches

@Paul-Fegan In our experience it's not a good idea to edit MP3 files. They are already lossy compressed, this means they are missing data compared to the original WAV files, and they are read out in frames of data instead of individual samples,

Hi @rraud, thanks for all of that. I suspect I would have used Save As because at that point, I would have been attributing a specific filename to the file after making some changes. I'll try resetting all parameters and clearing the cache data, as

Hi @Paul-Fegan, Did you 'save' or 'Save as' the PCM file prior to encoding the MP3? If you do reinstall SFP-18, I would first try "Reset all preferences and clear cached data" in SF's 'File' menu. If that does not help and you plan to
