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: timestretch or speeding up a song

@Connie-Alexander Usually, MP3 is also a paid feature. At least it was in the versions prior to version 2025. So it might be also missing in the trial version.
