Some Kicks corrupted after installing Live 8

[belmiro]

I just installed Live 8 and some of the kicks wont play when previewing clips.

It says the sample appears not to be a valid wav.

I then go into the file themselves and get an orange message on the bottom saying the files are either corrupted or not licensed?

I am using a mac and have the latest version 8.01

Would appreciate if anyone could let me know if they have a similar problem or if there is a solution,

Thanks!

No one?

Hello,

I haven´t heard of this before.
How many files are these? Can you send me a few examples?

Sure its E Kick 6 wav, E Kick 7 wav and some others.

The file is there but even previewing the file doesn't work, so it sounds as if they have been corrupted somehow.

I deleted them then repaired the library but that didn't do anything, so I have lost the files now.

I guess I need to re install 8?

Its no biggie as its seems to be like 4 kicks and a few snares only....

Hello,

Ok, i think i know the problem - it must be a relict from an old version you had installed.
Your problem affects the following files:
E-Snare 7.wav
E-Snare 7 Reverb.wav
E-Kick 8.wav
E-Kick 5.wav
E-Kick 7.wav
E-Kick 6.wav

To fix this, change the suffix from .wav to .aif.
Let me know if this helps.

best,
Christian

Yep. Fixed. Thanks so much, Christian!

Only thing is that I deleted some of the kicks... how do I get them back?
*I used time machine to get them back... now all working perfectly... thanks again!
