bug with clip/file in older set, anyone wanna help?
Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 4:35 am
Greetings forum, i'm looking for help with a very odd bug that is making completing an old tune impossible.
I bought a new computer last summer, and for unknown reasons, a song i wrote on the old iMac would no longer load properly on the new Mac Pro. I have emailed ableton support and they had no solutions either. What they believe may have happened is that a codec in quicktime (which ableton decodes with?) got changed, and somehow that has thrown this particular file off
this is what one of many many individually tweaked clips looks like (sample offline in pic);
however once the mp3 is dropped in/located in ableton/etc, it snaps back to 1, loop switches off, and the markers are recreated so they don't match even when you move them into place again, this happens for every single clip in arrangement (of which there must be 100) they all revert to the same clip setting
my hope is that someone out there has a setup that may be able to load these files as they should be and could do a 'collect all and save' for me that i could hopefully reload here, or if that didnt work at least render the files out........
I am sending along a link to the mp3 song i'm cutting up in this tune, and as the track(s) which use it
If anyone can take the time to d/l the files and test this out, I would really appreciate it. I opened this song many many times in versions 5/6/7 before it stopped opening on my new machine, so my hope is an older setup (non intel maybe?) might not have the same issues as me. Even if you experience the same problem as me, maybe someone can deduce what the issue is......
links:
Billy mp3
live set saved in version 6 (will open in 7)
live 8 version of same set (did this first and realized best chance for success was 6-7 users)
didnt include any other tracks or samples from the full song in order to make it quick and easy to download/open
hope someone can crack this one!
