Subject:Windows 7 64 and Editing Volume Posted by: walterh Date:12/26/2009 3:37:46 PM I have used Sound Forge 9.0 on a Vista 32 machine without any problems. I bought a Quad core 64 bit Vista machine, installed SF 9.0, updated it to 9.0.e but did not use it before I got the Windows 7 64 upgrade. After the upgrade I tried to edit the volume on a section of a recording. I move the slider to -1.03 db and got a 1 db increase. Minus 6db rendered a .01 db drop. Minus 37db got a -3.7 drop. I uninstalled SF then installed SF 9.0.a. Then volume editing would work properly on one wav file but not on another. I updated to 9.0.e and it worked on the two files I tried it with in Vista compatability mode. I then downloaded a trial version of 10.a which is supposed to be Windows 7 64 compatable. The volume section was misbehaving in the same was a 9.0. I then tried SF 10.a in XP SP3 mode then Vista mode and it worked on the wav file it didn't work on before. I don't know if it will work on other wav files. Is this problem a Windows 7 problem, a 64 bit OS problem or windows 7 upgrade problem? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Added December 28 I edited another wav file today and the above problem only appeared when I tried to change the volume of a very small time segment (less than .002 seconds. If I widened the segment (to maybe .005 sec) the volume function worked fine. I tried this editing with a SF 10.a trial version. I was able to duplicate the results using 9.0.e. Does this imply the problem may be hardware and Operating System oriented. This problem never came up when editing on a 32 bit Vista machine without a special sound card. I could reduce the volume of a single clap or pop without any anomolies. Thank you in advance Message last edited on12/28/2009 7:49:10 AM bywalterh.
Subject:RE: Windows 7 64 and Editing Volume Reply by: ForumAdmin Date:12/29/2009 7:34:25 AM Sounds like constructive interference from the edge fades (a feature introduced in Forge 9.0). 1) Click the "More..." button in the Volume dialog to expand the selection controls 2) Reduce Fade In and Fade Out to zero 3) Right-click in a blank area on the right side of the dialog and select "Save Fade Values" This sets the default fade in/out lengths for all effects to zero. In Forge 10.0, you can also access these values in Options->Preferences->Editing. J. Message last edited on12/29/2009 7:36:27 AM byForumAdmin.
