All of a sudden this morning I noticed that I am unable to save a recording as a .wav file. Even though I select .wav when I go to save the file, it saves it as an .mp3.

It started happening after I mixed a file I had created with a music bed. I took the original .wav file I recorded and inserted it into the multitrack. Then I opened the .mp3 music bed and inserted it into the multitrack and saved the mixdown as an .mp3 file.

After that I found I was unable to save anything as a .wav.

Help!

Elaine,

Which editing software are you using?

Cool Edit Pro 2 is the software I am using.

Seems like I managed to fix it. Upon further examination, I realized that it was saving the file as a .wav file - just the extension was .mp3.

Don't know exactly what I did to'break' it - and I don't know exactly what I did to 'fix' it, but it seems to be fine now.

Elaine,

To fix it properly, (one of the little inconvieniences of using certain programs with Gates and the Boys toys) try going to Windows Media Player>Tools>Options>File Types>Select All>Apply>OK

When running Quicktime from this point make sure you select not to change "Associations".

This will fix it, ...until the next time.
