sampling off a computer. wav file question

hello forum iv got music on my computer then i use as samples. i use a program c alled wavepad sound editor, it chops things up really nice. the main question is after i put the files that ive chopped up onto the mpc its self they were in the sound folders when i went to load up a sample but it didnt play any sound when i tried to hear it when i was in the load window.

all of the files i uploaded were .wav but is there a specific rate the file has to be or what?

any sugjestions would be greatly appreciated

yeah 16 bit..

but dont forget.. you can run an audio cable from the computer into the record input on the mpc... you would in that situation be sampling it into the machine.. (recording it with your mpc sampler) this bypasses sample rates.. and what have you.

thanks i know how to sample into the mpc off vinyls but this program works so much nicer for my personal work flow. is there like a specific bir rate to or is it just 16bit

44.1k but that doesn't sound like the problem.

thank you, it now works flawlessly, the program can also convert any audio files and the bir rates. just tested it out on the mpc with the new rat and it works. thank you guys!!!

sweet.. time to get down to business then! haha.

Is there any software that converts the audio file into 12bit so I can get that warm sp1200 sound..?

O.o... 12 bit isn't the reason the sp 12 sounds good... but get a wave editor like lamp says

jjos does bit convert. it's destructive, which means it's pre-tuning and pre-filter. this can be used to extremely interesting effect, but it's not as ideal as using a plugin like MDA degrade (part of the EXCELLENT free mda plugin package)

Yeah I wasn't expecting to get the exact same sound as SP1200 but y'all know what I mean. And Nym, thank you!
