"Error: Wrong File!!"

Whatsup with this? I get it frequently on my mpc. When i dump a folder with a large amount of drums into my mpc through USB i get this error alot on the mpc when i try to load up the sounds. And when i try to play them in the preview screen they make no noise.

Does anyone else get this? How the hell am i suppose to get all these drums onto my mpc??

some of the files might not be in the right file format.

Nope. Every single one of them is .wav

theres a shit load of waves formats that wont read in the MPC, Windows PCM is best bet, try converting your samples to that codec.

and that is exactly what i was talking about. my rendering program has 5 different types of .wav. and some of them dont work in the mpc.

44.1khz, 16bit pcm wav, that´s the one.


RTFM

Hmm. Im not quite sure how i would find out if its the right wav file. Im on an intel imac with osx.

Sorry im not trying to sound dumb. I just really have no idea where to go from here

No problem.

There are tons of freeware audio editing/converting software out there. Maybe Audacity does the job, if not you have to google a bit.

Yeah i know. im just trying to figure out how i know for sure what kindof file this is to see if it needs converting in the first place. and if it is the wrong one, what does it have to be converted to?

Best would be to use a batch converter to convert all files at once. I don´t know what to use on a mac, maybe ask again in the studio environment or production forum (or just search a bit).
All audio editors (i know of) give you an information readout btw., even my mediaplayer (foobar) gives me that.

but im not sure if thats the problem. Just now i was able to load one up, but all the hi hats were the same, all the kicks were the same, ect ect. any ideas?

sample name too long..
Look for a file renaming software.

perfect.

thanks again man
