Subject:file types and sizes Posted by: fpinto Date:3/27/2003 7:38:10 PM i recorded some sounds from an old LP , and i like to know what type and name of file format in order to save .wav files a litle more compressed , the problem that i have is that i recorded 12 sound using soundforge6 , but i can not put them to a cd , i use a brand new cd , and i only can save 4 sound files to-it , but i like to put the all 12 sound files on the same cd , the file format that i have been using is called scottstudios.wav , is there another format that i could use ? i need to use a regular cd player to listen those sounds, thanks again...
Subject:RE: file types and sizes Reply by: musicvid10 Date:3/28/2003 1:17:12 AM Audio CD's are not .wav, they are .cda. Start with 44,100 khz 16-bit Stereo .wav files, then go to Tools/Create CD. It's that simple.
Subject:RE: file types and sizes Reply by: Chienworks Date:3/28/2003 5:29:44 AM Keep in mind that a CD-R formatted to play in a standard audio CD player can only hold about 74 to 79 minutes of music. This format is fixed and can't be compressed. You could use MP3 and store the files on a data disc which would allow many many hours, but then it won't play in a regular audio CD player. How long are your sound files?
Subject:RE: file types and sizes Reply by: musicvid10 Date:3/28/2003 10:49:54 AM Good suggestion. Those mp3-encoded CD's may play in newer DVD players.
Subject:RE: file types and sizes Reply by: fpinto Date:3/28/2003 5:18:02 PM i did that i imported my 12 sounds in scott.wav format to sound forge6 , then i used tools to create cd , i closed the cd , but only have 2 sounds on the cd , what i am doing wrong ? , should i save the files to pca format ?
Subject:RE: file types and sizes Reply by: Chienworks Date:3/29/2003 6:48:12 AM Try using Microsoft WAV instead of Scott Studios WAV.
Subject:RE: file types and sizes Reply by: Geoff_Wood Date:3/30/2003 3:51:23 AM Easiest record the files directly into SF in MS WAV format and burn to Audio CD. You should get up to 80 minutes on 700MB/80 min media. I can't imagine what the story is with these 'scott wavs' as audio CD capacity is a fixed relationship with the recording's time . Are these scott things some form of bloated wav, and you were saving them as data ? You could also render them to mp3 (loosing sound quality) or PCA (no loss of sound quality) and save as a data CD-R, saving space or for archive purposes. Most recent DVD players claim playback of CD-R(OM)discs with MP3s on them. But don't go the MP3 way is you value audio fidelity. geoff
