Hi there - 

Firstly, thanks for taking time to create the software, I'm sure as soon as I'm rolling with it I'll love it :)

The issue: When I go to load a new sample into the editor, whether by importing via the import hot key or by going file>import>import audio files, I get no response at all. No messages, no errors, no samples. I'm uploading very short files in WAV, format, but have tested with all other formats as well to no avail I'm on mac 32-bit, running the current version of Java. 

Can you offer any advice?!

Thanks

Seb

Is this a stereo sample?  Right now, stereo samples automatically get imported into the stereo slots (s.001) - but it might not auto-scroll there.

Also, what bitrate are the samples you are importing?

If you email me an example file (or upload it somewhere), I'll have a better chance at debugging the issue.

Thanks for checking out the program!

I'm having the same trouble. I have exported a few samples from Ableton as a 16 bit mono format and they seem to come up fine in the OEE program. Just unfortunate that stereo samples and 32 bit aren't compatible yet... They don't import into the stereo section either :( The samples I'm trying to import are from 'Sample Magic' if that helps. Been trying to import one-shots and loops to no avail. (They are stereo samples, 2,116,800bit rate). Thanks for the software regardless... I have basically given up on the ESX because it's been near impossible for me to import sounds into the machine...

Any chance you can upload one of the stereo samples that won't import (or email it to me)?

I should be able to debug *why* it isn't importing, or if there's a bug, try to fix it.  I'm just using Java's built in audio parsing with some additional libraries for reading in .ogg and .mp3 files.

I also had to write a custom library for getting loop points from .wav files (so maybe that's where an error is occurring).

Most of the time I debug an issue though, I find out the sample isn't importing because it's 24-bit (or something else the program doesn't currently support).

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to sign up and comment.  Let me know if you can send me one of the files that won't import...

Hey,

I'm having the same issue, unable to import files. I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.8 and the newest version of Java. What is your email address? I can send you the files I am attempting to convert. 

Thanks,

Shaun

Hey-

My email is jeff at skratchdot : http://skratchdot.com/contact/ : so you can send the file there.

I also recently read about a site that allows you to upload files: https://mediacru.sh/ so if your file is too big for email, send it there.

Thanks for signing up for this list!

-Jeff
