Subject:Saving new version of recording Posted by: Rock_Bottom Date:1/12/2004 12:51:51 AM I have several sound files that I have previously recorded. When I try to work on any of these files and then attempt to save the file nothing gets saved. It looks like my work has been saved. I'm asked if I want to save the file and so on. However when I open the file, it the same old file, not one I just saved. Do I have to use a different file name?
Subject:RE: Saving new version of recording Reply by: Iacobus Date:1/14/2004 1:06:45 PM When you make any changes to a file, Sound Forge should note that a change has been made in the file by showing an asterisk (*) beside the file's title in the title bar. When you save, the asterisk should disappear. Does that happen with you? Iacobus ------- RodelWorks - Original Music for the Unafraid mD's ACIDplanet Page

Subject:RE: Saving new version of recording Reply by: Rock_Bottom Date:1/24/2004 12:11:56 PM I figured this on out. I was saving my work as wav. files. However I was using a Scott Studios Wave file Plug-in. When I tried to save, I would get a request asking if I wanted to launch the associated file player. I would say "Yes" and then would be told that I had no associated file player for this type of file and no save would occur. Well I had allready assosicated "Winamp" as the .wav frle playerand that association worked fine on all saved .wav files. I simply began saving all new files simply as Microsoft Wave files and any subsequent file saves are recorded with no problems. Thank you for you assistance with this "so simple I should have figured this out a long time ago" problem.
Subject:RE: Saving new version of recording Reply by: Chienworks Date:1/24/2004 1:55:40 PM Saving as a Scott Studios wave file always uses a name that the software generates rather than your own name. Since the newly saved version was given this generated name, your original file was never touched.
Subject:RE: Saving new version of recording Reply by: Rock_Bottom Date:1/28/2004 11:57:44 PM OK. Then what is the difference in the Windows .wav and the Scott Studios wave files? Is one better than the other?
Subject:RE: Saving new version of recording Reply by: Sonic Date:1/29/2004 8:54:22 AM Scott Studios .wav includes metadata specific to some broadcast setups, and follows a particular naming scheme, as you found. Audio-wise, it is identical to Microsoft .wav. J.
