MFA Newbie!! Help Needed!!

[kpogof...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

I am new to MFA and I need your help figuring out some issues I am having. I am trying to get the aligner to do what it does best - time align some audio and textgrids which are all located on my desktop. I initially had issues with my file path on my windows but I got it to work somehow. The issue now is that after I run the command for mfa align, none of my files ever get aligned. What could be wrong?  I need some help guys!
