Newb here....and I need some help regarding MP3's.

Post by geddins81 » Wed Jun 06, 2007 8:36 pm

Hello all,
Just started using the Tascam Lite version of Live 6, and while I really like the look and feel, I'm having problems with MP3's. It's my understanding that I should be able to open a new set, then drop in an MP3 backing track...but when I browse to the directory where my MP3's are nothing shows up....what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Greg

You can also drag them in rigth ouot of a finder window. Try that. If it doesn't work, I have NO idea... good luck
15" PB 2.5 Ghz, 4 Gig RAM, 750 GB HD, Live 9 still no cue points or program change messages?!?. Doesn't do shit.

I believe the lite versions of Live do not support mp3's. Thats a feature of the full version.

Hi,

You can of course use Live, or at least try it by converting some mp3s to Wav or AIFF.
