trying to load a wav song into the miDJay, seems like it works when using the usb, then when I'm done I try to play it and it says file corruped error 027. is there a special way to get the file in there,

I have it set-up like the other waves, 44.1, 16 bit, it's just not working

Frank.....WAV is a big file.....why not convert the Wav song to Mp3 & then load it.

I've done that for myself but the guy I know who wants this done wants to be able to change keys, and it only works as a wave.

Also I want to know why I can't do it.. thanks

Have you talked to AJ yet?

frankieve,

Try (once loaded into the HD of the Midijay) playing the file from your PC (USB cable connected). I just want to make sure the problem is not with the Midijay HD. Do other wave files that reside in the Midijay HD play (those that came with the machine or others)?

Thanks,

AJ

Yes it will play hooked up to usb, and the other wav files do too, I'm sure it's something extremely stupid that I forgot or did

OK, I think I figured this one out too.

I was making wav files from my Pro Tools rig, I would save the wav file, then copy them into the MiDJay. Everytine I went to play the file it would say corrupt file.

So I took that same file and converted it into a MP3 and the MiDJay would play it fine,

so now I took the original wav file from Pro Tools and using a conversion program, converted the wav into a wav again, and guess what it works on the midJay, I guess from pro tools there was either something missing or something added that made the midjay not read it, I will be using them as mp3's anyway, another question, what have you found to be the accepltable bit rate for the least amount of loss in audio?

Thanks Frank

Hello Frank
For portable players 128 is fine, for listening to the sounds on a normal system don’t go below 192, and if your using high end sound samples (Colossus, Giga samples etc) then anything less then 256 will be noticeable.
Remember also that the higher the bit rate, the larger the file becomes, so you may need to choose a balance.
BTW. If you can use WMA files then you can use a lower bit rate for the same quality of sound, (IE 192 becomes 160) and this will also give you smaller files.
Hope this helps.

I would be using I guess MP3 to conserve space, wav files seem very large. how low would you think then would be safe on a midjay for the MP3, or just leave it at it's highest?

thanks

Hi Frank
Unless it’s for a portable player, don’t go below 192kbps.
Hope this helps.
