Acid pro 4.0,
I have made a music project from about 2 minuts with acid pro4.
But the file that I have renderd(.wav/mp3)
sounds totally different in the windows media player.
It is as if I put the bass and the treble very high in the wm player.
But I have set the equalizer to non/default,But this problem is not only with wm player, I have also tried playing the file in,Pinnacle studio 8,quicktime and others.
What I find strange is that, when I play this file in vegas video 3, or sound forge 6, it sounds normal,(the bass and the treble).
Ofcource I can put the bass/treble lower in my projects with filter,and buses,
but it would be nice when I hear my project as it is.
Otherwise I have to render it every time,
then play it in the wm player to hear if the bass is too loud.
It is, as if the sonic foundry programes has an Equalizer set to low bass and treble.

Is it possible that my sound card is not compatible?
I am using the sound card from my motherboard - Asus -P4b266
But before I hade the soundblaster pci64V from creative and had the same problem
My computer:
pentium 4
512 DDR

Please healp,
thank you if you do.

that is really strange but not so surprising... sonic foundry (im not 100% sure) uses a different codec for playing back the files. When u play it back on ur computer's default codec its not as flat as the sonic foundry one. If you render say an mp3 or wma in different applications, it sounds different because they use different codecs. I happen to like to render to wma using Acid or Soundforge because they sound the best on my mp3 player.

that is strange
