Topic: FLAC compression problem, 2 tracks??

[Gordon]

open them in soundforge 9 and then save them.  no editing etc, just save it over writing the original.  then try and see if it works.  I'm betting it will.

Good idea, though I'd Save As a new file, not Save and overwrite the original.

doh!  that's what I meant.

I did the save and the save-as over the original... both saves were just mere seconds (strange).

And both results the same, except the TLH actually crashed out this time.  FLAC dos window, exact same results

ARGH!

Saved the D01T01 file to a completely new name, same results.... fun fun

try opening the files in cdwav and save as flac from there.

Never tried that, what options should I pick in CDWav for the FLAC settings?

Your problem I bet lies in how SF9 is saving the file. I bet it is saving in w64 format since the "wav" files are greater than 2GB. I bet your only option is to split the files smaller than 2GB and save as a standard wav file.

I do not believe that is the issue, as these are the original files that the Marantz 671 saved...
but the test WAV files I did have SF9 save, gave the exact same results

8 takes the longest to process but gives the smallest possible output files, if I understand correctly. Doesn't take THAT long, so I go for 8 unless i forget- then I think the default for xACT on the mac is 5 or 6.

I did the CDwav @ 8 and it took a few minutes, but no biggie... and they are all set, thanks for the suggestions

+T all around
