HELP! mp3 Unsupported Format error when I install Sound Forge? -ACID Product Family

Subject:HELP! mp3 Unsupported Format error when I install Sound Forge? Posted by: Rev_Bud_Greene Date:11/18/2003 10:12:54 AM When I try to open mp3 files in Acid Pro 4.0, I get an "Unsupported Format" error. My mp3s are created with MusicMatch, but it won't even work if the mp3 has been encoded using Sound Forge! When I uninstall Sound Forge 7, I have the power of mp3 again... I tried the Knowledge Base solution and the migration tools with no fix. I really don't want to uninstall Sound Forge (it cost me a fortune!), but I'l revert to 6 if I have to. In the midst of a new project, I don't have time for this. Please help me! The sooner the better! Thanks... Oh, I should also mention that Sound Forge still has full mp3 encoding AND decoding capabilities... AND I should mention that Batch Converter is also unable to open my mp3s, and then pulls them out of my scroll down file format menu entirely! (Have to uninstall AP4, BC, and SF7, clean the registry and re-install AGAIN, but none of these apps seem to work when SF7 is on my machine!!! Ugh!)... *I am using the DEFAULT INSTALLATION PATH(s)!!!!*

I was having problems with Sound Forge 7.0 and ACID Pro 4.0 working together. (The MPEG plug-in went kablooey in Sound Forge, though everything was fine in ACID Pro.) The only thing that worked for me was by employing a brute force method—formatting my hard drive. From there, I installed Sound Forge 7.0 and registered its plug-ins first before continuing further and installing ACID Pro 4.0 and registering its plug-ins. It was smooth sailing from there. I know this doesn't sound like it's the quickest and easiest solution, but if nothing else works, try it. HTH, Iacobus ------- RodelWorks - Original Music for the Unafraid mD's ACIDplanet Page
