  RE: Channel 2 volume is so low I can't hear it
  The files are MP3. BUT, the missing audio occurs only in Audio Studio, even with MP3's recorded prior to having this problem. The 'proxy' setting is for lossy files playback. I have not read any reports of that particular issue though.

  RE: There is no template available for this format / Can't save MP3
  @Thej68cal The official MP3 standard only supports mono and stereo. There is a surround extension, but that's something different.

  Hi Rick, Attached is a the media report for one of the files at random. Sorry, the forum won't allow a text file, so I had to take a screenshot. By the way, according to a search I did, SF18 uses the Fraunhofer MP3 encoder, but SF18's Batch

  RE: MP3 files skipping / glitching when opened ...
  Audio skipping and repeating. This problem has been happening on the past few versions of SF Pro. I'm currently working with Audio Studio 17 (17.0.2 Build 109), but it was the case with SF Pro 16 (16.1.4 Build 71). I have a RME Fireface UFX II.

  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,

  RE: [Wrong length] troubleshooting for Sound forge 17 suite.
  Welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users community @byeongho-Cho. The MP3 proxy mode will likely help, but if it does not, try using the legacy MP3 encoder in the ''Constant Bit Rate' (CBR) mode. The current MP3 encoder (SF-16/17/18) was dumbed-down

  RE: [Wrong length] troubleshooting for Sound forge 17 suite.
  @byeongho-Cho I speculate that this might have something to do with the MP3 decoder/encoder. Because of the way MP3 works internally, it will add silence add the beginning and the end of the file. Usually this are only milliseconds, so I don't think
