I usually fix sbe's when using TLH to create flacs. Is there another way to do this?
Is this assuming you have already done a fix sbe's on the original wave? then flac. i too use traders little helper, flac fronted keep crashing for some reason and i never went back to it.
track> fix sbe's,> flac> check sum md5 > finger print
i believe is the order i do
Using TLH, there are two ways to fix SBE's...
Format
\- Encode WAV file
and then make sure the "Align on Sector Boundaries" box is checked.
or
Tools
\- Fix SBE's
and that will allow you to fix SBE's before encoding to FLAC
personally, I always fix SBE's first, then create WAV md5's. then encode to FLAC, and create my FFP.
If I fixed the SBE's on the same step as encoding to FLAC, than I wouldn't be able to create WAV md5's before encoding (because the files are changing with the SBE fixes). In that case, I would have to decode back to WAV after encoding to FLAC just to create WAV md5's. That seems to me like a big extra step, so I fix the SBE's (if needed) first.
