Plays Some, But Not the Others?

Post by Quody »

I've been using HLDJ for a little while and gotten down the basics, I set all the specifications correctly and covert and there I go I have a working audio file, recently I wanted some new files, this time around I found the audio clips I wanted, then diced and mixed them up in Adobe Soundbooth CS4, I'm still able to save it as a .wav with 11Khz, mono, 16bit the whole nine yards yet when I go to air these files they do not work, the speech bubble pops up and it says my name for a second then disappears and goes to silence, i load a different audio file the i just added and same effect, load something else, works fine, is it just because I used Soundbooth, or am i missing something?
P.S. I'm trying to run this in TF2.

could be, also could be ID3 tags and other metadata - make sure it's not adding anything to the wave that shouldn't be there. If you're uncertain about your editor, use Audacity, it's free and simple.

Thanks for the reply, any idea on how I would go about checking for any extra stuff in the ID3

right click -> file properties
as for removing it, it's editor-specific; in Audacity, the last dialog prompt before exporting to wav will give you a chance to clear any metadata.

well I found any and all metadata, removed it, and nothing, i think i might just have to use audiocity.
edit: except wow, the quality on audioacity is horrible.
