downloading mp3 using UVI-Xtract on Mach 5

Post by fender3 »

Ok guys, I have another question that I am sure you will be able to answer. I downloaded some mp3 loops off the internet but I can't seem to use them on my mach five. I even burned them to disk but I am still having problems. The UVI-xtract will show the disk but will not show my samples. What am I doing wrong, probably everything, or is there an easy way to download these samples so I can use them to record.
I have a Mac G5 dual hard drive. I am on Tiger. I am currently using a Kurzweil PC3X Synth to a motu828mkII. I am using the Dp 6 with the machfive2 sampler, waves gold bundle, and altiverb reverb unit. Studio Monitors are Mackie 824s. Rode NTK condenser mic.

You have to convert the mp3's into a different file format, like AIFF or WAV. Once you've done that, they'll import into MachFive. You can use iTunes to convert the MP3's to AIFF.
