Title: Problem with editing wav file
Post by: pigpen2604 on June 05, 2010, 06:38:14 AM

So I taped Crowded House in Dublin on Monday. Recorded it at 24bit.

When I play the wav file through media player the whole show is there and I can listen to it from start to finish.

When I import it into sound forge I only have about 28 minutes of audio and the rest of the file is blank.

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't use Sound Forge, so I'll just throw this out there for those more familiar to comment on...

Could it be a hard drive space issue?  Does Sound Forge require a certain amount of hard drive space in order to handle edits and however many levels of undo that it has?  That's the only thing I can think of that would cause a program like that to open only part of a file -- as if it reached the limit of how much it could handle with the disk space available.

How big is the file you are importing?  >4GB will not work in FAT32.

Hmm.

Could it be 31 minutes and 192kHz as sampling frequency?
I believe certain versions of program could only handle 2 GByte files.
Given that 2 Gig is just around 2147483648 and if you run 192kHz as sampling frequency and 6 bytes per sample you should get about 31 minutes.
