Hi there, I am just a beginner and I would like to work with external samples, I read the mehackit tutorial about the external samples but it doesn’t work…
(I attached a screenshots)
Many thanks!
Hi @vale,
I don’t right now have a Mac to try but I guess, using the relative path (starting with /User) might not be enough (assuming, that the sample you are refering to is in place).
The easiest way to get a valid sample path: Just drag the sample into your Sonic Pi buffer: You will get a string (absolute path) to your sample. Hope this helps…

For the record, on macOS, just like Linux, any path starting with / is an absolute path. It just so happens that the Linux equivalent of /home/sam is /Users/sam on macOS 
Would it be possible to open up a Terminal and type in the following:
ls /Users/valerio/Documents/Samples
That way we can verify if there is an issue with the path or whether there is something more problematic
Yes, first part of what I said is not correct. Nevertheless the second paragraph still is 
Thanks @samaaron for putting this in the right context.
