what yall, i got this problem you some of you had helped out already on it but this occured again in a different way,
ok i'm saving sounds to a 31/2 floppy from the computer, it's like this i sample a sound from my Alesis hr 16 i edit it on CEP and then save it to a floppy disc and open it in my mpc but the mpc tells me it not a 16 bit file,
is there a setting in cool edit that i am missing and is not set to saving the proper file type, when i save i save as an PCM wave file, when i open the program it ask me what bit so i put 8 mono and 44k,

know is it my CEP prgram or is it on my disk that there is something i hit on it to save it different, is there adefault setting. for both this sht never happen before dont know why it's happening now,
if you guys have any ideas please give me a hand.
thanks

In CEP there is a adpcm and a pcm wave, also make sure you look at the options button to make sure it's 16 bit wave. You gotta pay close attention to the save file type. Cause as you know there are different types of wav's.

Bring up your sample in editor mode, right click on your sample
and go to "wave properties" then the "file info" tab and see what
the ACTUAL porperties of your sample is.

My "options" button was wide open w/o grey. Don;t forget about
the "batch file convert" if you can't find a way to save as 16bit. You can choose from MANY options there.
