Topic: SF 7.0 question???

[F.O.Bean]

well, i have had it on my comp for quite awhile now, and after resampling about 300 sets at least, it wont let me register online w/ them, saying it cant find a 'soundforge.error'??

i have no clue what to do, ive uninstalled, installed, restarted, everything

any help would be appreciated

also, if wavelab 4.0c is DEF good on the resampling end(which i believe the resampling has bugs in version c), even tho i thought thats what it was, other ppl have told me that wavelab version c's bug is its uv22hr dithering, so i dont know which way to go, if wavelabs resampling is golden, i wont even worry about sf7.0, but any help is apprecitaed

thanks,

so, is wavelab 4.0c tried and true for resampling??? and also, whos got my sf7.0 help???

thanks

heres exactly what the error says, once its installed and everything and then i try to register, it says exactly this:

"An error occured starting SoundForge.Error
0x8004e153(message missing)"

thanks guyz, any help is appreciated

wavelab 4.0c has an error(s) in its apogee dithering tool, i DO know that

The bug in Wavelab 4.0c dither is with the UV22hr. I think the UV22 dither is implemented correctly though.

The reason I don't use Wavelab for resampling is because it seems to resample very fast. I would estimate it resamples 2-4x as fast as soundforge on quality setting 4 with anti-alias filtering. My problem with this is that resampling is a very mathematically intensive process, leading me to believe that Wavelab's algorithm is not as accurate or high quality. I would guess that the only ways to speed up a resampling process is either to decrease the accuracy of the resampling or to get a faster processor. However, I haven't done any actual AB comparisons of the various resampled files to see if I can hear a difference.

I don't know what to tell ya' about the error, except that if you can't get it working I would bet 6.0 and 5.0 have pretty much the same resampling capabilities.

Take care,
Ben

haven't messed with Wavelab that much, but I do know in Soundforge, the resample takes the same amount of time whether you set its accuracy to 1 or 4.
its the antialias filter that causes the entire resample process to take so long

thanks guyz, just the feedback i was looking for

i was thinking the same thing about sf taking that long, thats why i have been using it exclusively
