Soundforge ".sfk" file help,,,

[StressWon]

Anytime a file is opened in a folder when using Soundforge, it leaves a ".sfk" file. What is that and how can I stop it?

Isn't that the Soundforge working file?

sounds about right,,,I'm high as fuck right now,,,,either way,,,what the fuck is that? Is it there to keep my settings or something? Holla back you freakin hocky head!

i think it's the file that stores the actual .wav display data, like peaks and stuff, you can change it not to save them in the preference menu

It's like with Audition, same thing. I think there's an option to not save that file when you save a project, but I could be wrong.

yea what bisit said, it just saves the peaks so that it loads instantly.... just delete em, thats what i do....

In sound forge 6.0, all you do is go to options, preferences, go to the "file" tab, and click "delete temporary files on close".

In Sound Forge 7.0 & 8.0, all you do is go to options, preferences, click the "general "tab, and look for "delete temporary files on close" and click the box.

Those sfk files store markers/regions information of the wav file. I dont delete them, I actualy save them to a seperate sample folder so I can load them into FL slicer which reads the sfk file so it will set those regions directly to slices (assigned to notes). Either you cut loops in sf, extract them seperately and load them up one by one in your sampler or like I mentioned, load the whole track up in slicer and play right away.

So are these not needed? Even when I dont save a file I get these stupid addition files.

 

[Formant024]

well, if you think you wont ever need to recall the markers and/or other info then you're cool, I however just keep em considering the small size of the file and the fact that I do runn into occasions where I wished I had cut a slice differently whixh makes it easier when you still have the sfk.
