Creative Labs VOC (.VOC)
This is one of the more common sound formats on PC-compatible computers.
The VOC format supports packed data that Sound Forge XP will unpack prior
to importing the file. The VOC format also supports information for silence,
looping, and varying sample rates.When Sound Forge XP imports a VOC file it
uses the first sample rate found and ignores such information as looping and
silence. Sound Forge XP will save VOC files as unpacked data with none of the
additional information such as looping or silence. Sound Forge XP gives you
the ability to save VOC files in either the old or new VOC standard. The new
VOC standard supports 16-bit data. Refer to the Preferences section (Options
menu) in chapter 6, Sound Forge XP Reference, for information on configuring
Sound Forge XP to always use the new VOC standard.
Dialogic VOX (.VOX)
This format is used with specialized voice data boards. It is a 4-bit mono
ADPCM file format that expands to 16-bit data.
Gravis Patch (.PAT)
This format is used by the Gravis UltraSound Card. Sound Forge XP can only
read and write Gravis Patch files which have single samples stored in them.
Patch files with multiple samples are not recognized. Sound Forge XP
recognizes Gravis Patch version 1.10 files. Older versions, such as 1.00, are not
supported.
InterVoice (.IVC)
This file format is for use with Intervoice telephony systems. It is a mono
format with a variety of compression schemes available.
Macintosh AIFF (.AIF/.SND)
This format is used on the Apple Macintosh to save sound data files. An AIFF
file is best when transferring files between the PC and the Mac using a
network, since most network software will delete any resource information in
a Macintosh file. Sound Forge XP can also read an AIFF with a Mac binary
header attached but will identify the file as a Macintosh Resource instead.
