After I freeze a soft synth track and then export to WAV it won't play.
What am I doing wrong?

I assume you mean the exported wav file won't play. Do you mean it
plays but there is silence or do you get an error message saying win
media player can't play the file? When you export you can choose 16
bit 44.1., if that doesn't play or plays but is silent then you may
have another track soloed or the synth track muted, that will produce
a silent wav file

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I'll take the check mark out of the 64 bit. Bet that's it.
We'll see.

Thanks. The Media Player, Real Player, and Sound Forge won't open it,
saying I need the correct codec.

I think Rick hit it about the 64 bit setting issue. Am going to check
that out now.

That did it. Thanks. I made a new project with 16 bit and exported to
16 bit. The default in both cases was 64. :-/

All better now!
