Anyone else had this error upon exctracting regions?

"An error occured during the current operation

The file could not be created.

OK"

Some are extracted but not all.



I have 3 audio tracks. I've cut them all into regions.Named them and want to extract. I've marked the top layer first (as black,shift+click) then (ctrl+c) then (ctrl+e) Which opens a seperate window of that first track. Then extract. ERROR!

It's a fresh install. I just got SF10! And there's an update to SF 10.0.... uhm, that's what I have :D

Please help.

Not sure if i know what the problem is, but i'll point out that your workflow is redundant. You should either

A) Ctrl-c + Ctrl-e to copy the selected area to a new window and save it.

or

B) Set up regions and use extract.

There is no reason to do both. Not sure that this solves the error you're having, but if you only do A then you won't have to extract and you shouldn't hit the problem.

Yeah, I think the extract functionality counts on there being more than one region in the file. As Chien said, if you're already copy/pasting to new, just save the new file.

I just want to extract the regions I've cut. I'm cutting samples and trying to export them. And as I extract them it stops before it finishes them all and I get that error.

I really want to export all 3 tracks all together in seperate folders for orginization. I was just copying him but it didn't work:

Okay, now I understand what you're doing. It was the multi-channel part that wasn't getting through.

Did you go through the step he did of renaming the regions? If so, what are the names you're using. Is there an illegal character in there somewhere maybe that is causing the save to fail?

Otherwise, how many regions are we talking about here? How big is the master file your extracting from. I'm wondering if maybe there is a memory issue?

I did the same naming as him but in the region play list only. Not at the green markers.

I can't see any illegal characters anywhere.
I use these:

lfss_bass_stac_6_3
lfss_bass_sus_7_2

It's about 400 cut regions. I haven't had a normal playback though. I have to type in 1,20 at the playback rate arrow at the buttom. I have 8GB RAM and a 3GhZ AMD CPU windows 7.

It's barely working extracting half and half. It doesn't seem like a computer spec issue. The program is freezing for a second. I even saw for a moment in the window "not responding".

And the audio comes out pitches to low than the playback rate. But it said the pitch was going to be wrong importing the audio(don't understand that either)

I'm guessing this is some type of compressed file and something is going bad inside the codec. If that is the case, you might first Save As the original as a .wav file, then extract regions.

Duh. I created a project with 44100 16 bit when the audio is 96 000 24 bit!
Maybe this created the problem?

Is there a way of keeping the regions and "import" them into a new project? Kinda start over with 96000 sample rate 24bit WITH the "old" ready cut regions?

I don't think that should really matter. Sound Forge is a file-based editor and as such it uses whatever sample rate and bit depth exist in the file you are editing.

Yeah but it's working now without any errors. Did everything all over again. Brand new file with 96k/24 from the start. No hickups.

Is there a way to extract regions from all 3 tracks simultaniously? Otganized in each folder. Close, far, and stage

I'm not even able to extract the regions individually. How would you do it? It's only the first track that gets exported no matter who I choose
