SF 5.0 bug when two track editing? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:SF 5.0 bug when two track editing? Posted by: pup Date:4/26/2001 2:19:29 PM I found a bug. Anyone else? I put together radio infomercials and started using Sound Forge as a two-track editor. I make a stereo file and put my dialogue on the RIGHT channel, and insert music where it's needed on the LEFT channel. I then adjust levels, trim this and that, etc., and then save it as my homemade "workplate." Oddly enough (and this has happened twice now) whenever I open my "workplate" again to made new adjustments, SF 5.0 appears to have somehow mixed the two channels, putting mirrored copies on both the LEFT and the RIGHT. HOWEVER....if you play each channel separately, you'll find that the original waves are still intact -- the music is still only on the left, and the dialogue is still only on the right. What you see is not what you get. Needless to say, I was very bummed out. The only way I could get it to reveal it's true self was to rename the file. Once that's done, the file opened correctly. Does anyone else have this problem? - tp

If that doesn't fix it then close the file. Find where you saved the file on your hard drive and then delete its .sfk file. Re-open the file in Sound Forge. This will create a new .sfk file, and the correct waveform should now be displayed.

I found a bug. Anyone else?

I put together radio infomercials and started using Sound
Forge as a two-track editor. I make a stereo file and put
my dialogue on the RIGHT channel, and insert music where
it's needed on the LEFT channel. I then adjust levels,
trim this and that, etc., and then save it as my
homemade "workplate." Oddly enough (and this has happened
twice now) whenever I open my "workplate" again to made new
adjustments, SF 5.0 appears to have somehow mixed the two
channels, putting mirrored copies on both the LEFT and the
RIGHT. HOWEVER....if you play each channel separately,
you'll find that the original waves are still intact -- the
music is still only on the left, and the dialogue is still
only on the right. What you see is not what you get.

Needless to say, I was very bummed out. The only way I
could get it to reveal it's true self was to rename the
file. Once that's done, the file opened correctly.

Does anyone else have this problem?
