Apart from the tool on mpc3000.com, there is a piece of software that can convert wav into snd files. Anyone know the name of this soundeditor? Is it Goldwave?

Somehow wavsnd doesn't work on my pc, so I want to try something else.

Yeah, I couldn't get Wav2Snd to work either. Use MPCEditor, you shouldn't have any problems with that.

GOLDWAVE works with the MOTOROLA/SUN/AU *.SND format ... a different thing all together. IE, NOT MPC compatible *.SND files.

COOLEDIT PRO/ADOBE AUDITION are the same as GOLDWAVE with regard of *.SND files.

The MPCEDITOR or AWAVE STUDIO are the only main two tools on pc platforms that deal with MPC compatible *.SND files.

Cool,

Rohan.

Hey thanx :!:

I wanted to buy Awave some time ago but they didn't accept credit card payments then. A little later I received a mail that it was now possible to pay this way.

Well, better order it asap before I forget the name again heheh..

Must have been a long, long time ago in a galaxy far away ...

I have been a registered user of Awave since before it was called Awave Studio ... way back around version 2.x ... They accepted credit cards way back then ... and have ever since :-)

Make certain that it is "Awave Studio" you're purchasing.

Good luck,

Rohan.

Great link...

NOTE:

The big guys get the high star ratings and yet still fail to include important import and export formats for sound files that are specific to certain ( several thousands of ) users.

IE: *.SND ( MPC TYPES )

One day they'll get it.

Support the developers who look after our needs I say.

Thumbs up to FMJ, MIDICASE and SEISHU for continuing to do so in this regard.

Rohan.

Hey Rohan, I think it was about a year ago, maybe a bit longer. I don't know if it makes any difference since I'm from the Netherlands, but I then received a mail that I had to put money on Paypal first. Then transfer it to them. That's what put me off buying it.

I'll be damn sure to buy the Studio Version ;)

The trick to getting wavsnd to work is to have it (or the sounds you are converting) in a place on your computer with no spaces in the filepath!.

if its in C:Documents and Settings/etc... it will not work and say it doesnt recognize the sound formats. if its in C:Audio/etc... it should work fine!

the way i do it is give it a folder in a nice spot, and copy files i want to convert to that folder, then convert them. works great and, unlike awave the program is free and only 9k
