Hey I remember reading in a couple posts where you guys said aksys automatically converts mp3 to wav. This is not working for me, what is up with that? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I'd say this is rather nonsense!

If you need to convert, just use a freeware converter before sending over via AkSys.

Once your sample editor is selected, you can convert what it is you're working with.

Thanks Dab, but i event don't do all that!

Ok, what i do is:

- External hard drive where the mp3 is usb to mac
- Mpc 4000 usb to mac
- Aksys is on so that i can see mpc's HD
- Create a subfolder (name it)
- Drag the mp3 on mac's desk (rename it cuz name is often to long)
- Then take the mp3 (the one on desk) and drag it in the new subfolder in Aksys
Look at this message: "converting .mp3 to .wav" and then, it's done!

Bye!

That's cool. This is just a reference for a first time setup of the program if one chooses to go the route of selecting a preferred editor.

There's other ways of performing the task to achieve whatever conversion you're after of course. :wink:
