Title: Soundforge resample changes the total time?
Post by: Arglebargle on November 15, 2003, 07:02:07 PM

I recorded a show at 48k and when I used Soundforge to resample to 44.1k the total length of the WAV changed by a few seconds. I used the highest setting allowed and had the antialiasing box checked. The conversion must have taken almost an hour on a PIII 700Mhz running 512 MB RAM. I usually don't need to resample because I always tape at 44.1 unless I patch out of the sound board. Anyone know if this is normal or what went wrong?

Thanks, Al.

don't worry about it. my SF 6.0 does the same thing. when you save your file the time will change back to the correct amount... I thinks it's just a glitch in the program.

an hour?!?

just resampled a 1hr 55min set from 48K to 44.1K in Soundforge6(with anti-alias filter and interpolation accuracy at 4-highest) and it took *5 mins* total
(this was on a PIII 1.13GHz w/ 1GB ram)

i just resampled a 1hr 50 min show on a celeron 2.0ghz, 512mb with anti alias filter 4/4 and it took 20 min, i guess that extra ram really helps huh

I also have my virtual mem setting down to 250MB total...everything goes to RAM instead of working from a page file on the HD

excuse my ignorance, but does that really help the computer run a lot faster and how would you go about changing the virtual memory setting and would it help on my comp with 512mb of ram, 40gb HD

I think it has helped with my home computer alot (p3, 733, 1 gig).  If your drive isn't very fragmented and you have large blocks of free space you might not notice much difference, but when it's running close to full, not having a page file makes all the difference.  It's in System Properties (win key + pause/break) > Advanced tab > Settings button in performance > Change button under virtual memory > No Page file (or whatever).  It won't let you run w/o the page file if you have less than 512.
