Look up in the Recycle manual exactly what files that recycle can use, is SND one of them?

Remember there are 2 types of SND out there..

SUN JAVA SND

AKAI SND...

yeah i saw in the manual that .snd isn't in the readible file list,

but since I know people use recycle, I'm wondering how they transfer the files back and forth

I was interested in doing it through usb, but I want to sample into my mpc 1st and not protools

I was even at one point thinking of getting a conversion software that could convert the .snd to .wav, but I couldn't find a credible one


thanks for the reply, I was like dag 50 views and no reply, I guess not too many people use recycle

why use recycle the 2500 reads snd files not downing recycle because I use it.

I use recycle too but I have been having problems. Sometimes when I export wav files to my 2500's HD or flash card, it only loads one sound when there are like 8 more sounds. Sometimes it loads all sounds wit no problems, am I doing something wrong?

If they are wav, make sure they are 44khz 16bit.

Your prob sounds like improper file formats.

The problem is that you have got to make sure that all the sounds you make from the recycle chops are individualy named meaning other than the numbers 001,002,003 ect... provided by recycle or it won't transfer correctly to the mpc

If the file is in your MPC remember it can be saved as an .snd file or .wav file. But if u do have .snd files u can use either program below to have it converted to an .wav file.
