Not all pads preview.

Post by stratblue » Tue Feb 11, 2020 3:48 pm

Hi there.

I'm on 9.7.7 and I was previewing some pads just idly going down the list using the down arrow in the categories/sounds/pads section. They all worked fine until I got to pad-5th pad.adv which wouldn't preview. Neither would any others after that until I had scrolled a looooooooooong way down the list. Whether the file was .adg or .adv made no difference. I can double click the silent pads into a track and they work fine.

Any ideas? Thanks.

It seems that it is sounds from the Live 8 Legacy pack that don't preview if that helps anyone...

Why does that make sense?

OIC! Is there a conversion mechanism without going through and re saving each one individually??

You could study the packs folder structure and try to replicate it manually for older packs. This might work, or not.
