been looking all over - Can't play 24 bit sounds WHY?anyone

Hey

I been looking all over the forum and cant find a topic about the capability of the mpc playing diferent audio resolution format, all I know is that my mpc plays with no problem the 16 bit sound files but when it comes to play 24 bit sound files it just wont, I can see them on the memory card, but mpc wont play or load these sounds.

Anybody knows anything about this?

yup. won't play em.

It is only capable of playing back 16 bit, 44.1 sound files

thanks a lot
do you guys know about any good samole converter? 24 to 16 bit in bulk

I'm a Mac user - not too sure of any for the PC - sorry

i think wavosaur will do bulk conversions and its free
you should download it regardless, that program is wonderful

Cool edit pro 2 is free for 20 days.. that is the one of the best..

sorry to change the topic but Grublet, your avatar is fukcin hilarious

Thanks. Thank god its not me.
EDIT: I can't tell if that is dude's chain bouncing off the floor, or his teeth!

Just to add: CD's only can encode (burn) at 16 bit depth (resolution), so the medium of acquisition (wer u get ur sounds frum) is also a limitation. Once we can beam samples straight from the 'satellite up-link screen' of our MPC8000's, we can start worrying about using 24bit (purchased) samples.

....2RAW, get a turntable homie!

don't forget you can have 24bit samples on a cd though...
