Sound Forge import issue - no joy

I've read through all of the dissucssions having to do with "unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file" but am still having problems getting any .wav file to import.  I've tried exporting from Sound Forge as both Microsoft PCM and Scotts Sound PCM and I've also tried it as an MP3, but no joy.  I even tried bringing in the file to Adobe's Media Encoder and exporting it as a .wav and .mp3 as well - still no joy.  When I open Windows Sound Recorder - there is no menu - only the ability to record, not the ability to open a file.  Any help would be most appreciated.

32-bit or 64-bit Vista? Did you install the patch published last week? You can do it by the Help menu, Updates. Perhaps ...

  • Cue points with Sound Forge 9.0a?

    Just upgraded from SF 6 to 9 … I haven’t needed
    cue points in a long time but it used to be as simple as saving a
    WAV file with markers in it. With SF 9 I have an option to save
    WAVs with and without meta data. Saving without meta data strips
    out the cue points (logical enough, reading the sound file back
    into SF 9 confirms the markers are gone) … saving with meta
    data creates a file Director 10.1 won’t read (“Having
    trouble reading file, Continue?) Has something changed? I’ve
    searched here and on the web at large and not seen any mention of
    issues between SF 9 and Director. I’ve tried two machines
    with the same result.

    Fixed it, sort of… Apparently by default Sound Forge
    doesn’t name the cue points at all and Director doesn’t
    like this (at least up to MX04, don’t know about 11). To
    create wav files with metadata that Director will read:
    In Sound Forge navigate to Options > Preferences >
    Labels.
    Check the box “label markers”, I also used the
    prefix and leading zero options
    Any new markers will now have labels
    For my present project I already had 83 cue points accurately
    positioned that I didn’t want to remake. In this case I
    renamed each cue point by hand, one at a time. Insanely tedious but
    better than marking the file again.

  • 1212m... Patchmix... Sound Forge... HOW?

    I can't seem to set up patchmix properly to record "What U Hear". I've read the tutorials on the EMU site and they don't seem to help with the newer versions of patchmix. It took me a while to get some noise out of sound forge, and I do mean noise. When I insert the Wave L/R into the strip I just get the sound repeating over itself. It's hard to describe. For ever kick drum that is played, 2 are heard. Then when I go into SF, it's doubled up again. So I can hear 4 kicks for every 1 that SHOULD be heard. So it's unusable noise. When I installed SF on my system with my audigy 2 it works perfectly. No tweaking and poking around needed. I can't believe a consumer card works so well over a "pro" card. It's very annoying. I've spent hours on the net searching for help but nothing seems to help. What I need to do is capture audio from internal sources (movies, streams) edit them in SF and save them for use in Kontakt.
    If someone has saved sessions I could download that would be fantastic.
    I just don't know how to get this thing up and running properly. It works perfectly with Sonar, no problems. But I need to capture audio with SF.
    I'm using Win7 and Vista (both 64x)
    I'd hate to have to use dual booting just to capture sound from my audigy. I just don't think that I should use that card when a better quality card is available to me. I've read that a lot of people have had this problem. I think a mistake was made in patchmix by making this such an elusive setting to attain when a cheap audigy will do it without failure.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yeah it is a bit complicated especially with standard WAVE recording until you figure it out. It is a lot more flexible though and really it's focused on ASIO recording where the complexity can actually be a blessing. What strip are you inserting the WAVE L/R into because that's the most likely problem? Also I think one of the session presets might already be setup for what you are trying to do.
    edit: a screencapture of patchmix would be make it easier to diagnose the issue.

  • Strange import issue .. no longer works in 2.6 or Beta 3

    Strange import issue.
    I use LR-2.6 everyday but have only played around with the LR-3 for a limited amount of time so the other day I decided check it out and tried to import a handful of RAW(canon) files on a SDxc-8g card via a USB card reader. I set it up to copy and convert to DNG, apply a few keywords and Metadata but when I tried it acted like it imported the first image and then froze. Card reader lights stopped blinking and just stayed on, program task bar doesn’t show any progress, not even for the first image. I then went to the folder that I was going to have the images copies to and it contained a file of the first image, but there is no indication that LR-3 even created it and it doesn’t show up in the catalog. When I tried to close out LR-3 is popped up the “in the middle of a task warning” so I just closed the program and tried it a couple more times to no avail.
    So I though o well I will just open up LR-2.6 and import them from there, guess what now LR-2.6 does the exact same thing!!
    I thought maybe my card reader was a POS but I was able to drag all the files to a new folder on my desktop and import them from there, nope. Tried rebooting a couple times, even opened a new catalog to test with, in both LR-2.6 and LR-3 and neither will work..
    I am stumped any ideas?

    Thank you for everyone's assistance
    I actually figured out what the problem was, like most issues it comes back to operator error, it seem I had inadvertently chose a "rename file on import" template that I had set up to name the files based on a custom fill-in field in the Meta Data, I normally only used that template when I was exporting images that had been completely edited, so being these images were new imports that field was blank, hence it would import the first image and then do to " don't import subjected duplicates" being checked it would just stop the import process.

  • IMPORT issues: Works with iMovie 3 but not iMovie 6 ???

    Okay, still trying to get my import issue resolved.
    I have a SONY HDR-HC3 DVmini.
    No problems with iMovie 3 on my Powerbook.
    iMovie 6 on my MDD will let me control the camera, but the screen stays BLUE with no IMPORT.
    My buddy thinks it might be a Quicktime issue.
    He said to download Quicktime Pro, that might resolve this issue.
    I can copy the iMovie 3 file to my machine with iMovie 6 and do the editing, just not the importing...
    THANX

    Hi
    Can be so much.
    Often Camera has to be connected to Charger/mains during Capture.
    An majority is a faulthy - badly connected FW-Cable (USB don't work at all)
    My list on this
    *NO CAMERA or A/D-box*
    Cable
    • Sure that You use the FireWire - USB will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
    FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
    • Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
    Camera
    • Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
    • Toogle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
    • Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
    • Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
    Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
    Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
    This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
    (Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
    everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
    Connections
    • Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
    Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
    the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
    Mac
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
    (Other hard disks don't count)
    I go for a minmum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
    after material is imported and edited.
    SoftWare
    • Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
    • Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
    • FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
    Using WHAT versions ? .
    • Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
    • QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
    • iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
    • iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
    *Other ways to import Your miniDV tape*
    • Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
    but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
    • If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
    over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.

    Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935

    Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After uninstalling Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
    I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.

  • No sound during import from camcorder

    When I am importing video from a DV tape in a camcorder I don't hear any sound. After the clip is captured, you can hear the sound during playback. Is there a setting that allows you to hear the sound during import? I have tried importing HDV format from a camcorder and regular DV from a tape deck with the same results.

    iMovie does not play sound on import. This makes sense if you consider that most current camcorders do not import in real time. They are faster or slower than real time depending on the speed of the Mac.
    See if your camera has a speaker. You can listen from the camcorder.

  • Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

    Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
    Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
    Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

    Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
    In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?
    More information:
    My Hauppauge HD PVR settings are set to custom. Video Constant Bit Rate, the average bit rate: 13.5 Mbps. The audio is AAC.

  • Import issue with Lightroom

    I upgraded to LR5.2 2 weeks ago from 4.3. Install went fine, but I'm now having issues when importing my photos, Lightroom hangs partially through the import.  The only choice I have then is to force quit the program, which then freezes my computer.  Getting to be an invredibly frustrating exercise.
    I have an iMac with OSX10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
    Lightroom 5.2
    Importing & converting CR2 files (5DMkIII) to DNG.
    Images being imported to an external hard drive.
    Nothing has changed in my workflow or software except for the installation of LR5.  I did read in some of the forums that there was import issues that appear to have been fixed with the latest release, however, whilst I DEFINTIELY have the latest release of LR5,  this is still occurring.  Any ideas? Another bug?
    Cheers
    Sarah

    sure did. All permissions are admin & I'm it.  I haven't tried DL via image capture - LR4 gets me to the same end goal, tis just rather onerous to have to muck around with this twice.  Appreciate your taking the time on this 

  • Duplicate Video Import Issue

    Hello,
    I am running PPRO CS6 (6.0.3) on Windows Vista
    I am having a duplicate asset import issue. Let me explain...
    I have a couple of Premiere Pro project files with multiple sequences in each. In each of the project files I have the same source video files imported as the some of the sequences in each of the project files reference the same source video file.
    So here it was is happening...I have a project file with sequences 001-025 in them and I have have another project file with sequences 026-050. I have 25 sequences per project to keep the project sizes smaller and more manageable so my system doesn't choke.
    Sequences 014 and 015 in the first project file both reference "Video01.avi" which is located on my external F: drive. I want to import sequences 027-030 from the second project file which both reference the same "Video01.avi" file on the same drive.
    I know PPro is intelligent enough to know when importing assets from another project file that shares the same assets as the project you are importing into, it knows to only import the dependent assets which are not in the project file you are importing into. I have done this countless times and PPro has correctly only imported the assets it needed.
    However for some reason when I am trying to import the above mentioned sequences from one project into another it is bringing in a duplicate copy of the source footage necessarily. I can't figure out why it is doing this. The sequences it is importing both reference the identical file on the same drive, etc. And I am using the "Import Selected Sequences" option.
    Thank you,
    Shane

    I think I have solved my own issue. As stated above when I was trying to import sequences from another sequence it was brining in a dup copy of the same clip in the sequence. I was able to successfully have it not do that.
    What I realized was happening is that even though the source footage video file is identical in each project file, when I opened it up the clip in the source monitor I had different IO points set for each version of the clip in each project. PPro I am assuming imported the second copy to preserve the IO points on the second version of the clip that was being imported.
    I simply cleared each set of IO points on each reference of the clip in the project file and I was able to import the sequences I wanted without bringing in an additional copy of the source clip. So now I just have one copy of "Video1.avi" in my project file instead of multiple.
    Hope this helps someone in the future who may be experiencing a similar issue.

  • Normalize function: audition vs sound forge

    I am a long time sound forge user.  but the changes sony has made to the program between sf8, sf9 and now sf10, have all but destroyed my workflow and have rendered the program useless.
    I noticed that I can use the sony DX effects in audition, which is a big help as I get acclimated to audition.  one thing I can't use is sony's normalize function.  they have two different kinds of normalizing--peak and rms--both of which I use, but both of which are inaccessible from inside audition.
    I can peak normalize using audition's native function, but I've not yet found a way to duplicate rms normalization.  is there a way to replicate rms normalization in audition?  I'm using ver 1.5 for now.
    thanks in advance for your replies...
    ...jay

    You get RMS normalization if you use the Group Waveform Normalize
    option under Edit.

  • Question on Sound forge pro mac with Logic.

    Hello,
    I would liketo know if the plug-ins that come with Sound forge pro Mac could be used with Logic directly like using 3rd party plugins.SF has a whooe bunch of plugins but wil be able to use those plug ins ,like EQ ,Exciter, etc as induvidual plugins on a Logic project without having to export the wav file into Sound Forge?

    The answer is No if it's anything like the PC version. The plugins are proprietary and only usable in Sound Forge, just as Logic's are only usable in Logic.
    However, I don't know this ti be 100%, true.

  • Import issues, Audio/video Unsynced

    Having major import issues, audio and video won't play in sync. Working with MP4 and MXF on most recent version of Premiere CC. Everything plays fine in quicktime/vlc but goest haywire in premiere. Have been through tech support twice, updated drivers, cleared cache and Premiere still has trouble playing back video/audio in sync. Any idea what's going one? Our company recently switched to adobe for the supposed "ease" it handles different codecs and so far have had nothing but issues? Sorry if this is already addressed in one of the forms, am at my witts end now having lost multiple days trying to troubleshoot premiere.

    Hi Adobe4,
    Having major import issues, audio and video won't play in sync. Working with MP4 and MXF on most recent version of Premiere CC.
    Sorry for this issue. Tell me, where did these files originate? From a video camera? Do they have a constant frame rate or a variable frame rate?
    Thanks,

  • IMovie 8: No sound while importing

    Can anyone tell me the reason why iMovie 8 has no audible sound when importing via firewire from a camera. iMovie6 had the option and I don´t see any reason why iMovie 8 lost it.
    Overall I´m not sure if I should have made the move anyway as iMovie 6 seems to be better organised and easier to use. maybe it has something to do with a learning curve but currently I´m not completely happy with the update.
    Am I alone?
    best regards
    Raindog

    +Probably to keep from confusing users with its need to "stop & go" for most captures. I.e., MPEG-2 an HDV captures must be converted to AIC so the content is most likely imported as "packets" -- read source to fill a buffer, convert what is in the buffer, save the converted file data, and start all over again. Since audio would be broken, most users would probably either complain that iMovie was "broken" or want Apple to figure a way to fix this without having to purchase huge external drives to hold "one-shot" conversions, so I assume Apple simply decided to avoid the problem altogether by by not even attempting to play audio during the capture process. Besides, it save CPU which can be better used in converting the video content which some people already complain about taking too long even though the HD work flow is already trying to push 6-7 times as much data (i.e., when decompressed) as they did with simple DV captures of SD content.+
    Sounds reasonable to me. It´s not a showstopper as I can listen to the audio on my camcorder instead. Just found the way iMovie 6 handles it more comfortable
    +There is nothing to prevent you from using either or both for any given project.+
    Fair enough. But I paid 80 EUR (> 100$)for the update and this is a little expensive just to use the old version.
    +It requires a change in "mind set." Programmers will likely be more comfortable with the "modular" nature of the new iLife software whereas "process" oriented individuals will find the old way of editing more "natural." Mentally "ambidextrous" users will probably switch back and forth between the two without a second thought about the matter.+
    Not sure about that. I made a complete mind (re)set years ago when switching from OS9 to OSX (which made sense). I understood the move from G5 to Intel (which made sense) with all the problems caused by it. But I´m not sure if I want to follow programmers who´s idea is to automate everything and disturb the workflow by clotting a programm with additional windows only to obsessively have all the files on your computer visible in one place. Not sure if this is an improvement (at least not for me)
    BTW: Reading the online manual helped a lot and I´m partly happy with the programm now. Maybe it´s because the programms get more and more complex or I´m just getting older but reading the manual was something for windows users. Now there is some need for it for us too

  • No sound when importing video

    I am importing video into iMovie using a Canon Elura 85. The DV port does not work on the camera, so I have a cable with 3 RCA plugs on the end that goes from the camera's AV port that connects to my Canopus. I plugged two of the RCA plugs into the Left and Right audio ports on the Canopus, and one RCA plug into the video port. I am able to see the video image show up in iMovie's import screen, but there is no sound. How can I solve this? Thanks.

    iMovie does not play sound on import. Most cameras that iMovie supports do not import in real time, so sound is not meaningful. It could be useful for those with tape based cameras, but these cameras usually have a speaker so you can hear it on the camera.

  • DTW--  How to Import  Issue for Production

    Hi ,
             How do i import Issue for Production Through DTW.
    Thanks & Regards
    somi mishra

    hello,
    why do you want to use DTW to issue for production ? You could use backflush as issue method so that you can skip issue for production job. If you have issue for production batch job which it means you want to add all the qty of RM issued to production one times and all at onces for more than 10 PO, I think it is better to use addon. You create an excel template and export the data to be txt file, the txt file imported to the issue for production form using the addon. I just compare this situation with the client request in long time ago. they request fast and not manual sales order creation from quotation. just to compare it to your situation but need your detail explanation.
