I have tons of drum sounds and im thinking of getting a 2500 jjosxl but know it cant load 24 bit samples and would like to know if there is a way. Im runninf mac and I need to convert like at least 10gb of drums and would like to do this in one shot but just donr have a clue.

this **** trolling or?

3 ways/.

1.open DAW, re-convert each wav

2.Open your default audio player on mac, run a cable to mpc, play sounds, record into mpc.

3. get that 10GB down to something like 1gb or less by deleting the wack sheit. you want a small good kit, than a large, shit kit.

If you have no other choice use iTunes. Whatever your import settings it will convert at that rate. (16bit 44.1khz in this case).

10 GB is gonna be a pain though. Other options would be Extreme Sample Convertor (pricey) and perhaps Awave (free). Google "Free batch sampling convertor application", there may be others and Awave will certainly come up and you can check it's features for batch conversions. There are other apps like Sound Forge and Wavelab too, but a lot of the ones that do batch (bulk) conversions are pricey.

I'll post again if I come across a free one tonight.

Yes thanks and if its not like about 40 bucks ill do it cause I actually have over 20 gb of drums.

Yeah but I need plenty for layering and more is better

Yeah dmajor, Awave will do batch conversions.

I think the shareware version is fully functional. If not the full license is only $49. It can handle .SND files too if you ever have to deal with older MPC's.

Thanks yo ill check into it

Max is free and easy to use (does almost any format to any format, batch convert etc.). Imo the best for mac: http://sbooth.org/Max/
I've had the unstable version for a long time without any issues.

if you're using mac os x you can download a program called Switch for Free. it lets you batch convert and save in various formats. one of them being .wav 16bit 44.1 (which is what the 2500 reads)

you can Download it here for Free...
