Topic: cannot encode 24/44.1 file to 24 bit flac.

[heyitsmejess]

SSIA.  recorded on and r-1, fades/etc using wavelab 5, and split with cdwave.

tried the version of flac i had previously (error), and the latest build (error).

any help appreciated!  sorry if its a bit vague, but im not sure where the problem would me....i always thought it was a cut and dry process.

oh yeah....this is my 1st attempt at 24 bit flac.

what are you uning to encode? Frontend ?

make sure to uncheck the box that fixes sector boundaries.

What's the error?

Are you positive you saved the file as 24-bit when saving in Wavelab?  Some audio editors will produce a 32bfp after editing (e.g. fades), unless the user specifically dithers or truncates to 24-bit.

if you didn't check "use alternate 24-bit format" when saving from CDWave, you will have 24/44.1 files with a 16/44.1 header, which makes FLAC go all nuts

this is what i came to write as well, i would think this is the culprit first.

Ive NEVER checked that alternbate box and ALL of my 24bit flacs are fine

I'm going to say its the sector boundaries or no HDD space left

I never check that box, and I've never had a problem.  Uncheck the "Align on sector boundaries" box in FLAC Frontend, and it works fine.

Most importantly glad it was an easy fix.
