    Saving wav's without metadata?

    franontheedge

      Hi,

       

      I found that a program called Audacity will reverse both a part of and an entire sound file, but because of the meta data saved when saving a .wav file out of Soundbooth - I cannot open such .wav files in Audacity.  I have found a free program (Called just SUPER.exe) that will convert these bad .wav files so that I can open them in Audacity.

       

      However!  I would very much prefer to be able to save sounds out of Soundbooth directly as simple .wav files without that awkward meta data.

       

      Can someone tell me how to do this?

       

      Please?

          Hello,

          I have been working with this problem this morning and I believe I have a solution (at least for Flash import).  Under Preferences/Metadata, uncheck both the options related to XMP.  In addition, click the Metadata Display (also in Preferences/Metadata) and create a new default setting with all metadata schemas unchecked and save this setting as the new default.

           

          Once I did this (bypassing the XMP metadata "feature"), I was able to import my .wav into Flash without problem.  Remember, that you may have to close the file in Soundbooth before importing into Flash (like Flash, SB kind of hangs on to it).
