Recording stops before completion of process

Bob-Wearing wrote on 1/28/2022, 7:30 AM

Over the years I have used several audio recording applications from Magix and successfully digitised over 100 vinyls without a hitch using my Hi Fi system (Michel Orbe being the record deck) connected to my Pavilion laptop (4GB of memory through the USB slot. I recently installed Sound Forge 4 on the laptop and after a few minutes and before the end of the music the recording stops with a message asking is the Recording OK? The same message also appeared when I reused Audio Cleaning Lab-.Your advice on whet might be causing this error would be appreciated

@Bob-Wearing There is an option in the recording settings that it will stop automatically after some seconds of silence. Could this be the cause of your problem?

Sound Forge 4 ???.. I have not tried Sound Forge 4 on a Win 10 PC. That could be a problem.. I did try SF-4.5 on a Vista PC a few yeas ago which worked normally in my tests (and I always liked the color toolbar icons). Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge 4 is a dinosaur which did not even have real-time preview. Nor did it support VST plug-ins which was introduced in SF-7. (though there was a third-party VST translater that worked in SF-6).

In any case, you are due for an upgrade @Bob-Wearing . AFAIK, all of the old serials can still be used to get the upgrade discount from Magix though.

@rraud I think the software is SF Audio Cleaning Lab 4.

Could be @SP., thanks for the insight.
If that is the case, there is a specific forum for SF ACL. @Bob-Wearing

Thank you for exposing my stupidity! Yes this was the problem.I thought the problem was something more fundamental like a lack of memory or a defective sound card rather than something simple as a box that was ticked!
