While a virus *could* do this, you'd have to find an extremely bored virus writer to get him to target the MP3 converter in SoundForge (while leaving the user's credit card and banking info untouched).synaptic flow wrote:Updates:
Installed Sound Forge to another computer and the problem remained exactly the same.
Recreated wave files like recommended and the problem remains.
I do not see any advance settings to tinker with for the mp3, other than speed or quality and the misc stereo settings.
I'm starting to reach for crazy ideas now. Could a virus do this? I haven't detected one during any scans.
Yes I'm one of those who uses his internet computer to edit and make music on. And I use my laptop's for DJ'ing.
It's just so crazy because I didn't always have this problem. Also I know it shouldn't be the fact that I am running Win 7 Pro 64bit with 32bit versions of Sound Forge. (I didn't always run a 64bit OS)
I am truly beyond perplexed.
It looks like my only option is to use a separate program for the mp3 conversion. This kind of sours me on Sound Forge for good. And here I was looking towards the Audio Studio 12 upgrade.
I'm running a 32-bit version of SF in Windows 7 (x64), too. If you could send me a short piece of what you're converting (as a .WAV file), I can try to re-create your specific problem.
