Hey guys. Pretty simple problem I'm having.
I'm trying to export my track as a wav file then Master the wav, but when my wav finishes exporting, it plays extremely distorted and is essentialy a pile of shite..

Here's what settings I'm using to export:

Nothing's wrong with the settings mate, the problem must be somewhere else.

What software you playing it back on?

Could be that it can't play back 32bit wavs properly.

you checked you aren't going into the red/clipping before you export it?

Haha, had to ask.

sometimes we look past the obvious answer thinking the problem to be more complex than it actually is lol

got a feeling it could be winamp not liking the 32bit wav.

Try exporting it at 24 or 16bit and see if it still happens

if it does still fuck up then I have no idea, try another player?

Never been a fan of winamp myself.
It was always buggering up on previous version I had years ago.

Aaaand right you were, exported it at 16-bit and it worked perfectly.
Can't believe I didn't think to try that >.< Thanks a lot dude! Appreciate it Smile

loads faster than you can click it, got no graphics except buttons (uses windows graphic) and absolutely no pause between tunes (when for example listening to a mixed album or a mix divided into tunes)

you could also try to check the dithering option, which should reduce any distortion that may be caused with DA/AD conversions..


if i read that book by Bob Katz correct, that is Tongue

Sorry I haven't replied to you man, the problem was sorted but I'm going to give the dithering option a try too because I assume exporting in 32-bit is better than 16-bit ? I'm new to this really I'm not sure what the difference is lol Smile

Also thanks for that Foobar download man, great program!

I never had any problems audio wise with winamp but I can't play movies on them in fullscreen without them playing all jerky and horrible.

As for FL I don't get why they couldn't make the export process simple like most the other daws.

Nice & simple 44,1.khz or 48khz and 16 bit with dither option or 24bit.

Nice and simple.

What's this 32bit float option bollox about anyway !?

Not actually sure what the problem is lol.. Suppose it would help to find out :p

I honestly had no idea man, I checked the manual and it came up with this;

32-Bit float wave is the native format of FL Studio mix engine. Render to 32-Bit floating point format when you intend to continue mixing or editing the file in another application (wave editor or DAW) that supports 32-Bit floating point format. 32-Bit float provides more precision for mathematical operations on the audio and so will ensure the highest quality is preserved in your audio files during post production activities.

Gives the impression you'd export it as a float to send off to be mastered or something? Or if you just wanted to use a different program to master it in.

I don't see as required that FL be a carbon copy of other DAWs.

Sounds like a load of bloody twaddle to me (whatever that is) ...
I just export a 24bit wav @ 48khz to be mastered as Jimmy requests Shakeshark

Why's it get its own export format ? , bit silly really.

I don't see that as 'own export format' - 32 bit rendering exists. If the mix engine does its' calculations at 32bit, then I fancy your render should be on 32bit to keep all the quality you can.

If FL exports as 32 Bit then all good. I just don't see why it doesn't have an option for 24 Confused

I believe cubase does 32bit float too.

I just ask for 24 normally as it is more than enough really plus for some reason Pro-Tools doesn't import 32bit wavs.

Just means I have to import it into wavelab and dither it down before I master in tools

I guess they're up in their heads for something. I mean, Gol is the lead programmer for FL, I am sure he has some godly principle by which he programmed that in that way.

Dithering down is not a big procedure, though, but totally unnecessary. Big Grin
