Hey all,
I recorded some 24/88.2 tracks onto my MT, but can not FLAC them, I get the following error message. I did not have "align on sector boundaries" or any of the other options boxes checked. Any idea what is the problem? The files opened fine in Soundforge 6.0.
Peace,
Ben

For 88.2kHz you need to use the --lax option (info: http://flac.sourceforge.net/documentation.html#flac_options_lax). The only standard options are, afaik, these: 8kHz, 16kHz, 22.05kHz, 24kHz, 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz

never knew that, +T nardo :)

While you're at it, you might want to upgrade to FLAC 1.1.2 , by the way. ;)
(and I hope 1.1.3 is out soon, the beta seems fine!)

Dumb question: how do I do --lax with the FLAC frontend?
Or alternatively, how do I encode otherwise using command line?
Me not so smrt with computer.

piggybacking on bc's question, how would i use this option with xact for windows..?

There is a lax checkbox option in xACT it says "(Ignore if you don't know what it is)"

Hmm possibly not I was referring to the xACT 1.58 for Mac OSX

It's explained at http://flac.sourceforge.net/documentation.html#flac
To learn more about the details just click on [<general-options>], [<format-options>], [<encoding options>] there. It's actually a nice documentation.
Basically, if you look at your own screenshot you see which options FLAC frontend did use for you.
Example: flac -P 4096 -b 4608 -m -l 8 -q 0 -r 0,4 myinput.wavNow you want to add another option, in your case --lax. Some of the others also have different ways of writing them, e.g. instead of "-P 4096" you could write "--padding=4096" -- just make sure you know when to use "=" and when you don't need it, it's all under the [<x-options>].
So yours could be something like flac --lax -P 4096 -b 4608 -m -l 8 -q 0 -r 0,4 myinput.wavYou don't need to specify an output file, standard would be myinput.flac (if your input file is 'myinput.wav')
Personally, I like to add the -V option so it verifies the encoding process for you, takes a little bit longer, though. Hope that helps (and works).
