yes I did and it still didn’t work

yes I am on Mac

43

it worked in Logic Pro

44

There is missing a / after bouncedLoops in this path from your error message:

Users amhumphreysDesktop\bouncedLoops808-loop-for-Sonic-Pi.aif
45

Great, then restart Sonic Pi and try again with exactly the path that worked with Logic Pro.

46

yeah idk why

this is what I put in the buffer:

s = "/Users/samhumphreys/Desktop/bouncedLoops/808-loop-for-Sonic-Pi.aif"
sample s

but it returned that. like it changed itself

47

did that, still didn’t work

s = "/Users/samhumphreys/Desktop/bouncedLoops/808-loop-for-Sonic-Pi.aif"
sample s
48

maybe we need to get @samaaron here

Very strange. Can you convert to wav and try again? Also, use a shorter filename not starting with digits…

s = "/Users/samhumphreys/Desktop/bouncedLoops/SonicPi-Bass.wav"

s = "/Users/samhumphreys/Desktop/bouncedLoops/SonicPiBass.wav"
sample s

nope didn’t work

54

Do you have another sample that works?

55

yeah the hi hat pattern works

56

What are the file sizes of hi hat compared to bass line?

57

oh doesn’t matter its not working anymore :joy:

58

Are those files opened by another program? Maybe you close other programs that might access those files and block them?

59

Ooh! I moved the folder with my loops back into the place I had it previously (/Users/samhumphreys/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/2020/2021/Te Kura/Music/Sonic Pi/bouncedLoops/Hi-hat-loop-for-Sonic-Pi.aif) and now the hi hats are working
