Thanks, but - nope. Still the same. The file is not complete.
On Audio Studio 10 it shows and plays the whole file, but there's some kind of a problem with the sample rate - it's playing slowed down.

Could be a codec other than AAC, which is 'usually' the audio codec used for files with the MP4 extension, but not always. Can you post the 'MediaInfo' for the file, which lists detailed attributes and the codec.

Try converting the file to a PCM <.wav> with an online converter such as Convertio or Zamzar.

btq, welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users community @sudekk.

Hi,

Yeah, I know that I can convert it, but for those files time is the essence. We need to edit them ASAP.

There may be no other way. Conversions are usually fast and can be batched. Test a file first to see if it fixes the issue.

Use the 'tree view' in MediaInfo, which should appear 'similar' to this:
