problem with conversion to FLAC

Post by rayrad »

i'm having a problem in amadeus pro version 2.1 with conversion to FLAC

i record in 24 Bit, then convert to 16 Bit for upload to a website

but when i convert the 16 Bit files to FLAC, they output at 32 Bit

this is occurring both when i use a batch conversion program (xAct) and also when i use the 'save as' feature in amadeus itself on individual files

interestingly, after going back to the old version of amadeus, and working on the exact same files, this problem doesn't occur - so seems to be exclusively with version 2

any help much appreciated!

cheers
ray

They correctly create a 16 bit FLAC file. However, Amadeus Pro now by
default opens compressed formats as 32 bit floating points, so that it has
better accuracy for internal processing. If you prefer to open it as 16bit, you
can disable this in the advanced preferences. Regards,
