I edited some stereo 24-48 files using Sound Forge 8 and then processed them through Plogue/Bidle SPEC 4.86-Zag 3.0 Slice (yes, I know that's old but this particular PC is running XP and has worked great up until this problem) to create stems. I used a layout I have used over 50 times on various projects.
Here's the weird part: When I try to open one of those stems in SF8 (the same program that created the original edited stereo file), it won't open and I get an error message saying "An error occurred when opening a codec". I also have SF 10 and it can open and play the stem. Foobar2000 can also play the newly created stem.
If I save it (either as new file or overwright the original), then SF8 (and SF6) can now open and play the new saved file.
I am able open stems from older projects with no problems in any of the three SF programs.
I haven't (knowingly) changed any settings in the Plogue - and frankly wouldn't know what settings to change that would affect the codec of the generated stems that SF 8 suddenly cannot open, but SF 10 can. Never had this problem with SPEC or SF and not sure what is causing the problem. Do you?
