Help Please: preparing a recording to upload, r8tbrain error

[mr breeze]

a member asked me to upload a recording he made for him so i thought i'd give it a try.
here's the lineage so far.

Lineage : core sound binaurals> battery box > edirol r-07 24/44.1 khz > (wav) > usb dell inspiron 15 notebook > usb > (me)
My processing steps: wav file (1,844,162 KB) > cd wave editor 1.98 > split tracks > retitled tracks > r8brain >
i tried to dither the files to 16 bit but i get this message as shown


am i doing this wrong?
or must/can i 'tag' these files to suit the program?
help would be appreciated!

more information:
wav will play (audio) in windows media player or foobar2000 without a problem.
i can make a flac file in tlh without a problem. flac will play in foobar.

i went to get info on the .wav file in tlh and this is what i got:

i tested the daddy .wav file i had split into tracks with tlh. this is the report

maybe i should dither the big daddy .wav and then separate that into the wav tracks.
i doubt that would help, however.

You're not the only one with that problem:

If I was you, I'd convert it to flac and then resample. Or just use something else for the task. :)

Do you mean use something other than cd wave editor to separate the tracks?
Maybe there is a switch in cd wave editor in preferences having something to do with it???

[joujoujou]

No, I meant: use something else for resampling.

Either way, high definition wav is not easy to deal with. :)

Save it at a lower bitrate in CD Wave Editor: File - Save - Output Mode - Wav - Change frequency and resolution to your liking.

[mr breeze]

Thanks tappy. I think that did the trick. Just loaded each of the 24 bit files then saved each file as 16 bit. I never used the program before and didn't know the various functions and options.
Thanks for the help tappy and joujoujou! :)

I only found that trick out earlier this year myself.
