Trouble with Audition .wav files in Studio Recorder?

Anybody else have trouble when you open Audition files saved as .wav format in Studio Recorder?

In our studio, some editors use Audition and the non-techies tend to use Studio Recorder to do things like checking cue markers or simply listening for final QA check before moving projects on to the completion steps. In fact, on the Wintel workstations, the .wav files open in Studio Recorder by default. We have found that the .wav files we've processed in Audition open in Studio Recorder with no markers, no waveform, and just a big ol' counter in the middle father Studio Recorder window.

Does anyone have any suggestions for ensuring that our Studio Recorder users will be able to see what they need to see (waveform with cue markers) when they open the .wav files we have worked on in Audition?

    Use something like MediaInfo to examine the exact format of both .wav files that work in Studio Recorder and those from Audition that don't. It may be something like Audition, by default, works with and saves 32bit float .wav files (although it can save 16 files if you do a Save As) whilst Studio Recorder can only work with 16 bit files. MediaInfo will allow you to see how the files differ.

    Thanks for this idea. I will try your suggestion when I return to the studio.

    I do know that Studio Recorder can work with 32-bit files, but we have not tried looking at the file-structure details.

    I'll let you know how it turns out.
