SoundForge problem: f'd up wav's after saving. PLEASE help

when i try to save any wav out of soundforge it saves the file but i get an error in windows media player and on my mpc1000 (wrong file!). ive tried saving as different types of wav's but no dice. any suggestions?

make sure you r accessing the right file from media player, cuz my soundforge makes a wav. file and a sfk.(?) file by default

@ DubbleD - You know when you mess up and you UNDO your stuff and try again in SF? Well, that SFK file is holding that undo information so that you CAN always undo or unprocess, and it's also used as a sorta temp file for whatever your working on. Also, if you close out SF and you have it set to open last project up on startup then SF will read that SFK file for the last settings you used while processing that file. ONLY after you've completed your project and will NEVER need those undos again can you delete that SFK file. BTW I like your cartoon.

@ emcee0001 - When you save make sure you save as MICROSOFT WAV PCM, that file should be fine with windows media player AND mpc1k.

Damn, I thought that file was just for the waveform drawing so it wouldn't have to scan the file again.

me three and i disabled them as i was sick of accidentially transferring them all to mpc when doing mass folder copying- lampster got the knowledge!!

sounds like the start of a bloody good thread: sound forge tips everyone should know...

If you look closely when you open up a file that has an associated SFK you will see that SF still reads/scans the whole wave form (bottom left screen while loading the file). SFK's are small in size so you can tell it's not the actual sound file, it's just keeping settings/undo's and junk that's all.

thanks a lot for the replies. im going to try all of that in a bit when i get home. thanks again!

Lamp Droppin science.

what cartoon????

"Ed, Edd and Eddy"

One of them calls himself Dubble D.
Cartoon Network homie.

Also, it good practice from time to time to learn about the different file extensions that are associated with your audio computer programs so that you know what you are dealing with and where you can possbily bend rules and such. That helps alot in dealing with transfer of samples to any MPC.

ha then its not my cartoon

Black hair is dubble d (eDD)
bald one is "eddy"
green jacket dark tan is "ed"

haha
