I sent a wav file created in Cubase 5 to a friend of mine to add a bass line in this song. He tried to enter the wav file in his system. He is using Ableton Live Lite (versions 4 & 6). Below is an email reply I got from him indicating a problem. Hoping someone can give me some insight as to how to correct the issue at hand. Thanks , Mike
The problem is listed below:
I got the wav file.
But, now for the kicker, my Live (lite 4 and 6 versions) made by Ableton
will not open your file, the PCM and Sample rates (all audio) is correctly
read by my Ableton SW, but your version of SW and mine are incompatable.
I was able to open up the file with my Media player, and also with my Cool Edit
SW, but I don’t record with the Cool Edit, I use this tool to edit and modify
songs for the finished versions.
I will work on a solution here, this is all too important to me, at least my files to
you as .wav files sholud be utilized by your SW with no issues.
I will look at Cubase 5 / Steinberg and find a way around this, looks like I
just plain have to upgrade.
