overseas: Yeah, I think we have the same problem. It sucks that you have to go to 16-bit just to load the files quickly. I wonder how Audition works..... pitchfork: I know they're much bigger. In my case, the 16-bit files (even large ones) load almost instantly - but the 32-bit files can...

It seems like sometimes my pk files don't work. Has anyone else experienced this? I deleted the pk files to have cool edit re-create them. When I open my ses file, it doesn't do it, but if I go into each wav and "save as" then it will re-create the pk files also. The problem is, when I go...

I get alot of noise if I have my guitar pickup pointing toward my computer monitor. Obviously this isn't your particular case with the keyboard, but the monitor is obviously doing some interference, so it could be related. Also, I can get noise if I don't unplug my cordless phone while I...

What is the "wave mapper" device, and what is it for?

"1 doesn't that drive get all fragmented really quickly with the creation and destruction of loads of temp files? I don't want any more fragmentation on that drive than I get already with the creation and deletion of various audio sessions." Depends. If the temp files are lots of little...

How do you get to the Cool Edit metronome?

One more thing about files and hard drives..... A couple years ago I saw a RAID system for the PC. It just used a special IDE controller or something, but the other components were normal PC components. Don't know much about it, but it's supposed to be very, very fast. I think the original...

Don't know if this would necessarily apply to Cool Edit temp file setup.... but it might..... Often when you setup a server (or workstation) it is preferrable to put the memory cache file on it's own partition. One of the reasons is that the large file can reside on sectors next to each other...

Disclaimer: I'm a bit new to the recording aspect of computers.... Perhaps you could try to record the incoming signal with the Windows Sound Recorder or some utility. If the signal is still messed up, you know at least that the problem is not a bad setting in Cool Edit. This doesn't give...

Thanks for the reply Chris! Does "convert sample type" change the .ses file or the .wav file? I think I should be able to get the 24-bit .wav files in by copying over them with the 24-bit file. The problem then is getting the .ses (that I unknowingly created as a 16-bit file) to do 24-bit...

I'm a newbie around here--referred by someone on the www.comomusic.com message board. This looks like a pretty cool site! Anyway, I want to replace some wav files in my session, but keep all the session edits (levels, pan, volume envelopes) and precise file locations. The new files should be...
