I've Maschine and Ableton Live Suite libraries, the ones from Maschine are 16 bit 44.1, so i want to use some samples basicly the vintage drum machines.

As far as i understand i need to make the programs so is the best option to do it with the mpcmaid? or is there any trick i must know?

MPCMaid is a huge time saver especially if your trying to takes GB's of drums from an in the box source like a VST library.

One thing to keep eye on is that if you did drop/load a 24 bit bit file into MPCMaid it won't stop you. But it won't play it back and on export it would still be 24 bit. So just make sure you convert first. iTunes can convert if you need a quick solution.

If it doesn't bother you if a PGM is made in the order of the file names in a folder you can use the "Batch Create" function in MPCMaid. It just scans a folder and auto assigns the whole thing and saves a PGM file in the folder.
