Hi All,

I got a question this morning about a file for a phone system

Here are the specifics:

- uLaw format (also known as G.711 format) - NOT WAV or MP3
- mono
- 8000 hz (this is absolutely critical)
- 8 bit (16 bit does not work and will sound like static)
- files should be normalized to about -12db RMS loudness

*Most of the time when the files are recorded in the proper format they will have the ending of .raw.

I have protools and adobe audition. When I look at the options in adobe audition, I can create this file as a ulaw but the file extension is always wav.

I can get the raw extension if I use the pcm dropdown. Any ideas what will work?

Thanks so much!

Kathy

Sorry Kathy,
I only just saw this (I don't usually troll the gear section Wink

)

Yes, the format you are talking about is a telephony format and no, neither PT nor AA convert to it.

I can certainly do it for you.
If it's only a few files, call me.

If it's more....then....

EDIT:

Actually G.711 IS a type of .wav file
I read your post to fast & thought that you were in need of a .vox file.

Call if you need more help!

Liz!

Actually, that job is finished and the client is happy, so of course I'm happy too. I checked out the convert my files link (with the .com at the end) and have saved it for the future. I'm doing quite a bit of phone work and it's reassuring to know that help is just a click away!

Also, I realize now that I should have posted this in chat.... and I would have gotten more responses and attention. Duh... I'll try to remember that for next time! Anyhow, THANK YOU LIZ !!!

Kathy
