These are screens from EMC 7.5 (updated version) so I'm not sure if they are the same in earlier versions of EMC 7. However, once you open a wav file in Sound Editor--clicking on EDIT and selecting SELECT ALL, then clicking on FILE, there is no selection for "SAVE SELECTION", only SAVE PROJECT or SAVE PROJECT AS.

Frank....


I have the same problem except I am not able to open the WAV file in Sound Editor.  My WAV files are coming from my Pentax digital camera and its ACDSee Software after I upload all the pics and sound files.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Copy the wav file from your camera onto the hard drive, and quit ACDSee. Then run Sound Editor and Add Audio File.

Your problem is quite different from dmargolis' problem then.

What happens when you try to open these files in Sound Editor?
Can you play them in Windows Media Player or any other program which plays WAV files?

I am at work now and cannot double check, but I know for sure I can play these audio files on my computer somehow (whether it's through Windows Media Player or through the Pentax ACDSee software).

The message I'm getting from Sound Editor says something like "The following file cannot be opened or edited."

I had the Syntrillium "Cool Edit" software installed on my computer (that a friend gave me).  Since then it  crashed and he can't lend it to me again.  Somehow I think all Cool Edit did was convert the mono 16 or something to a different bit number.  

Do you think Roxio can do something similar?  Thanks again.

It sounds as if something has converted the WAV files to a format which Sound Editor can't handle.

You may either have to put up with the new files, or go back to the originals if you still have them at source.
