Understanding SF Issues


Troubles Opening SF Files

Awave Studio Removed

You attempt to load your SF file and get an error such as "- Can't Open The SF File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Awave Studio for - installed. The typical path of opening your SF with a double-click won't work because - cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you don't have Awave Studio installed, and you know of another program to open your SF file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Incorrect Awave Studio Version

Sometimes your installed version of Awave Studio won't support your IRCAM Sound File file. Download the latest Awave Studio version from the FMJ-Software website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This issue mainly occurs when your IRCAM Sound File file was created by a newer version of Awave Studio than you have on your PC.
