incidentally, how did you record the playing stream into Cool Edit? Did
you take a lead from the sound card output and back into the line input of
your PC or did you use some feature of CE that I didn't know about similar
to Total Recorder? From memory CEP ACTUALLY records in PCM and saves to
MP3 (or whatever you chose) when you exit.

When Cool Edit Pro/Audition works with MP3s, they first decode them into
PCM files in the temp folder then when you've finished working, they
re-encode them to MP3.


Hello. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

To record, I just let the radio programme play in Real Player and opened a
new file in CoolEdit and pressed record. When it came to the end of the
show, I stopped it and pressed 'save as', choosing mp3 and it saved.

This is probably not what you are supposed to do, but I have done it before
and since to record a radio show and it worked, but for some reason, the
files I promised to someone else have been messed up. It works perfectly for
unimportant stuff.

The radio show was almost two hours long, so I'm afraid it's a very large
file (over 1GB). I recorded the show for three days running, but only
checked the files when I came to transfer it to CD for her. I presumed that
there would be no problem, as there never has been before.

What is driving me mad is I KNOW the digital information to recreate the
sounds I heard are in my huge big files, but I can't get it out.

I have not changed the original files I saved to in any way, as any of my
attempts to do something have been done by working on a copy of the original
files.
