Import Audio not working

Post by logicdroid » Mon Oct 22, 2012 11:16 pm

Don't know if it's a graphic bug/audio import bug/happening to anyone?
Using iTunes/CopyPaste/Dropbox to import audio don't work for me.

Using iTunes on my Mac (Apps tab/Auria) to transfer an aiff file,
- I don't see the file in Auria on my iPad (it's the only app running)

After copying an audio file to pasteboard,
- The file is not pasted into Auria

After linking Auria with dropbox,
- Auria can't see my files on dropbox.

After reinstalling the app again fresh from the app store,
- the audio still can't be imported.

These are three very different methods for importing, so I'm surprised you're having difficulty with all three. Let's look at one at a time:

Aiff files: Auria will only import aiff files if they have a proper extension. So make sure that your file ends in aif (not aiff, but aif). Macs support aif files without an extension, so if that's the case, you'll need to add one to the end of the file.

AudioPaste: This is used for copying directly from another app, for example BeatMaker. So, first, make sure you AudioCopied the file properly in the other app. Next, in Auria, use AudioPaste in the Edit menu. Be sure you're not using the regular Paste, it must be AudioPaste.

DropBox: Did you press the DropBox tab in the Import Audio screen? When you do this, you should see all your files and folders on your dropbox account. Again, if your files are AIFF, or without a file extension, you won't see them. They must have an extension, and be either wav or aif.

Is there no way to fix this as all my current loops and construction kits are in .aiff.

Since the day I bought this thing I've not been able to track a single song without any hiccups. Tis so counter productive and mostly disappointing.

I believe all you should need to do is rename your files from "songname.aiff" to "songname.aif".

Thanks Dave and my apologies Rim.
Not enough research done on my part and spoilt by the convenience of the Mac.
I've decided to wait for things to progress before looking at this again.
It's just tech life and too many things I can't be bothered with like renaming the Gbytes of files to port over to the iPad.

We'll probably add support for unnamed files at some point, but most DAWs have this limitation (for example any DAW on a PC).
