Samples not working in MPC live, help

Hey
So I have a ton of samples from my old mpc 1000 I wanted to load into the mpc live.
Thing is they show up in the ssd I installed but they don’t preview and don’t load.
They all work fine on my laptop, I don’t know what the issue is!
They are all 16 and 44.1 wav files. They used to work fine on my mpc 1000.
I think it might be because a bunch were converted by mpc blaze, might that have something to do with it?
I can’t thing of any other reason.
Any idea what I can do?

I had files like this. Read fine on my Mac but not in the Live. I appended the file name with .wav and it fixed some. The others needed .aif. All were samples that got moved from hard to hard drive to drive since the early 2000s.

They have to be [email protected] wav I think.

They don't need to be 24 bit. Op, could you post a link to one of the files?

I will see what I can do.
Would SoundCloud work?

Upload the sounds somewhere so they can be downloaded and looked at. Dropbox or equivalent hosting site.

last i checked you can upload sounds to soundcloud and actually have them set to be downloaded too.

Im not sure if SoundCloud leaves the files untouched though, they might convert to a specific type of wav.

I was worried about that too.
I might have to figure out this Dropbox thing.

I ended up processing a bunch in my DAW, I might just keep doing that. Tedious as f, but it’s working.

What did you do exactly to fix them?

Loaded them to live as clips, freeze and flatten.
I ended up having to rename a bunch.
I also found some of the original, non mpc blaze processed samples, so that was good.
