emusonacid!

hi

i burned a cd full on wavs in Toast Titanium(mac application), but when i try to open the cd in emu it says "no samples exist in bank!". it allso said the same thing when i burned an emu format cd. so far i have not mannaged to burn a readable cd! what am i doing wrong?
i have an old pc hangin' in the studio with me and im considering hooking it up with my emu E4XT Ultra. what advantages does this give me?

i did a search but didn't find anything

thank you.

No samples exist in bank does not means that there are nothing there. I don't remember the menues for converting wav to the e4-format right now, but you should be able to get the .wav files visible, and then just import them. I did that (on a floppy) just some hours ago.

hi Ole. thanks for the reply

can u check it out? i cant seem to find anything on this...

You cannot load wavs from a cd. You can load them from floppy disk, which is very slow. If you have EOS 4.7 installed you can format a scsi zip or hard disk to fat 32 format, which will allow you to copy the wav files to and from your computer using that drive (pcs and macs cannot recognise the standard Emu disk format).

Hooking your E4XT Ultra up to that old pc with a scsi card is probably your best bet, you can then transfer the samples back and forth via Wavelab/Soundforge, much quicker than the method I mentioned above.

Couldn't really tell you about burning an Emu image with toast, I have done it successfully using Nero on pc.

The SCSI card is the way to go.. fast, you can also pull the samples from the sampler if you want to edit it and then send it right back to the same sample location.

You can burn CDs in Translator and load them as a bank but it is more than confusing and you can get weird error messages. If you don't have a SCSI card then get an Adaptec AHA-2940AU from this guy... http://www.scsiforsamplers.com/showprod.asp?prod=ADT1
$15 and works great! awesome guy who will even answer questions you might have. Check about Mac compatability as I use a PC just to be safe.

than you all for the advice!

im connecting my emu with the pc as we speak. i've got a sht load of tunes in my mac waiting for sample transfere to the emu. can't wait to hear how it's all going to sound like when im done!

take it ez
