Question

8000 Hz, 8-bit CCITT U-LAW WAV

Hello,

 

I am trying to export an audio file at 8000 Hz in 8-bit with the CCITT U-LAW codec and a WAV wrapper. From media encoder I can get all of these settings except I only have 8-bit as an option. When I do a multi-track mixdown in audtion, I can do all of these settings except for the CCITT U-LAW codec. What am I missing? I found a similar post on the forum, but they did not seem to have an issues selecting the bit depth. I would prefer to do this in media encoder to speed up the export of other formats and to strip out all metadata. 

 

Thank You!

**In media encoder I only have 16 bit as an option and I need 8 bit

No, Media Encoder won't do that one at all. And that's the reason that a lot of people end up using Audition - it has access to libsndfile formats that Media Encoder doesn't use. No I don't know why - it's freely available. In Audition, you can choose not to include any metadata simply by removing the check from the 'Save As' box, so that shouldn't be a problem. The settings you want are these:

Not what you want necessarily - but possibly what you're stuck with, I'm afraid.

Thank you for replying so fast! This gets me on the right track. I tried to change the file extension in the export window from .au to .wav, but when I click away it goes back to .au. Is there a way to change the file extension inside of audition or will changing the extension in file explorer be enough?
