mp3 songs in SF 45e make weird noises -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:mp3 songs in SF 45e make weird noises Posted by: linkmaster40 Date:9/28/2001 4:17:46 PM Can anyone tell me why it is that when I open CERTAIN mp3 songs in SF 45e, some of their beats make weird noises almost like they are really low quality even though they are 128kbps? however, if i play them in winamp or burn to a cd, they sound fine. also, if i decode them to wav & then open them in SF 45e, they sound ok then, too. Again, only some songs with certain types of beats do this. A good example is Missy Elliott's "Get Your Freak On". That one sounds horrible when opened in mp3 format, but fine when opened in wav format. Thanks

I would guess that the mp3 compression is messing with the high audio frequencies in that tune, but if if plays fine through WinAmp, then that's a bit strange. Best, Scott -- Scott R.
