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.
