Hd24

[gsc1ugs]

Anyone know anything about the HD24 ..i import a perfectly good wav but on playback from Alesis, its distorted

[Blue Bear Sound]

Distorted in what way? (meters in the red? snap-crackle-pop?? excess noise???)

Could be a simple as a sample rate or word-size mismatch.

[gsc1ugs]

I matched the sample rate and KHZ to the predefined wavs in the alesis so they matched perfectly... it does peak and crackle, in Sound forge the wav is fine

[Blue Bear Sound]

"Predefined WAVs" in Alesis????????

What do you mean by this?


Explain how you're saving the file in Sound Forge....

[gsc1ugs]

When you create a song you set the bit rate.... if you ftp you can see tracks of wavs... its these i'm talking about


Saved in sound forge the same 24 bit 48khz

When saving in Sound Forge, you should be choosing "Wave (Microsoft) (*.wav)" as opposed to several other WAV options, and setting the sample rate and word size according to what the sound was originally recorded at. If you've done that, there isn't an issue with playback due to the WAV format.

Have you checked the monitoring path from the HD24? How are you hearing the HD24 (compared to the files via Sound Forge)?

(ie, maybe the sound is distoring in Sound Forge, but the way you're monitoring there doesn't let you hear it?)

[gsc1ugs]

I'll double check but i think i'd done this also.. thxs

[gsc1ugs]

soundforge appears not to be clipping or distorting, the .wav file is OK, but when we ftp to say track01 on the alesis the level is banging the red.

[Blue Bear Sound]

Can you post a short fragment of the file? (or email it to me - contact info at my website)

[gsc1ugs]

Its a big big... i'll try to get a little piece.. thxs

[Blue Bear Sound]

Just a second or two is enough....

[gsc1ugs]

Ok.
