clipboard corruption? -Sound Forge - PC - MAGIX Community Forums Archive

Subject:clipboard corruption? Posted by: Artt Date:11/8/2001 8:18:45 PM I have been having a problem with SF5.0. I do a lot of dialog editing as well and copy - paste/overwrite alot and it seems like whatever i copy to the clipboard will become corrupted (i.e. weird repeats, odd random sections of the same file, etc)because when i paste or overwrite it sounds like i took random snippets and scattered them all over, but if i reselect and re-copy and re-paste, it is usually okay. It is such a random occurence but it seems to happen about 60% to 70% of the time and it is getting frustrating! Has any body else had this happen? Please help!

Reply by: Rednroll Date:11/20/2001 10:18:18 PM So beetle....what you're saying is that Sound Forge corrupts the data when you run low on Ram or Disk space?.....Hmmmm....Hey Ted, you hear that? Sonic Foundry programmers don't know how to write a subroutine that says "Low on Memory"...therefore it corrupts the data instead. You guys better take some programming lessons from beetlefan so that you know how to deal with low disk space issues. Artt, You may be getting corrupted data because your hard drive is fragmented. Sound Forge uses your virtual memory for large files, and if this is fragmented it might cause fragmented audio. Or if it's small amounts of data which could be located directly into ram, you may have problems with your ram. Start by defragging all your drives.
