Description |
Warn if Save changes the sound data |
Select this check box if you want Sound Forge to display a warning when you perform file conversions (such as performing bit-depth conversions, converting to stereo/mono, or compressing audio) that change your sound data. You will not hear the conversions effect on the sound until you reopen the file. |
Automatically reopen if Save changes the sound data |
Select this check box if you want Sound Forge to reopen files when you save to a different format. Changes in bit size, channels, or compression format will result in reopening, and will allow you to listen to any changes in sound quality. |
Use 32-bit (IEEE float) temporary files |
Select this check box if you want to use 32-bit, IEEE floating-point temporary files for audio files that are not opened in Direct mode. When the check box is cleared (or when you open a file in Direct mode), the bit-depth of the temporary file will match the source file. |
Default Dialogic VOX sample rate for open |
Specify the default sample rate used when opening Dialogic .vox sound files. This option is necessary because Dialogic .vox files do not contain sample rate information. Typical settings for this option are 6,000 Hz and 8,000 Hz. |
When a file is associated with Sound Forge, you can simply double-click on a sound file in the Windows Explorer and it will open for editing.

Select the check box
for each sound file format you want to associate with Sound Forge.
