Having trouble with [sound files folder]

[nateflanigan]

Hi, I have set a personal sound files folder according to the very simple instructions in the video manual. The folder and samples show up in the browser sounds panel, but I am unable to use any of the sounds, I get a message that flashes very quickly that says something like EO25 Unable to read audio file. The files are 24/44k wavs.

Any idea how to fix this? And what do the brackets around [sound files folder] mean?

Thanks!

So, the plot thickens. Some samples load fine, others I get the error message. I've tested some of the error samples by opening them in quicktime and max/msp and they playback fine. All of these samples are from samples from mars, I can't discern any rhyme or reason to what can be read and what can't. What should I be looking for?

Thanks?

Hi, as I just bought the full Samples from Mars collection, I can check on my system. I just tried with a couple of samples and didn't get any error. Which are the problematic files?

some files may have been corrupted during download ?

Hi, I had this problem regulary as well. Do you use a list manager? If so, get rid of it and try again.
Helped with a lot of problems in my case. No idea why, but it did.

Some other files (though very few) also showed this problem no matter what.
Sometimes it helps when you just duplicate them and delete the originals.
It seems that depending from which DAW I export, I get more or less/none of these errors.
Maybe something is printed into these WAVs that HH doesn't like too much...

Also I had this error popping up far more often on OSX than on Windows.

Best,
tL.
