I´ve been trying to import an aif file to mixbus just to check out the mixer and what it can do to improve the sound of my tracks. It simply does´nt work and I´ve checked out the wiki tried all the ways it says with no luck. Yes the track was “active” I even tried to put in the audiofilesfolder of the project. Is this a bug or could it be cause I only have 1 gig memory or something hardware related, I´m using the onboard soundcard (agregate device). I can record that´s no problem at all even though I´m testdriving mixbus on this old singelcore. Since I can record and the program acts pretty ok it can´t have anything to do with it being only a singlecore cpu.
Is it possible to route Itunes via jack into mixbus or something like that? I was thinking maby I could go that way just to be able to do it I mean just for now.
Hmm just checked it here, had no problem importing AIFF files. Can you post a screenshot of your import dialog to tinypic or imagebin and put a link here so I can take a look at it to look for differences? Thanks.
Sorry that computer can´t connect to the internet, networks´s broken. If it was on this computer I´m typing this from I could even record the whole process with quicktime and upload a movie to show what happends. Hopefully we get SL support shortly so I can install it on this computer.
I does playback both Mp3 and AIFF inside the import dialo though.
Hey thanks I just read one of your replys in another thread and that trick did it for some reason. A bit strange it worked doing it like that though hehe, what I did was placing the audio in a new folder inside the interchange folder and unchecked the copy files to session.
Thanks man going to play around with it now.

Yes I know that was about something else but it worked for me, I had tried something like it before by just putting the audio in the interchangefolder/audio but no luck. Sometimes it seems some things works best from inside a folder, happend to me before on a win98 computer when I was helping a friend out that was trying to install printer drivers. Had to unpack/zip/install it from inside a folder for some strange reason, just klicking the file on the desktop did´nt work.
I guess when things run on just 1 and 0 you have to be thankfull that it actually can run hehe, well there´s no logic to it hehe.
Thanks again gave me a chance to listen to the mixer for real so to speak and to evaluate what I would gain by “washing” mixes from Logic in Mixbus.
This is one really cool software for sure and when SL support comes and maby a sequencer too who knows maby I´ll put out my Logic for sale on Ebay.
i have the same import-problem here with mixbus, running on mac osx 10.5.8, imac intel.
when i try to import wav-files from the import dialog, i can listen to them inside the dialog, but when i try to import (i tried all different options like timestamp, projectstart, fileimport and no fileimport…) nothing happens. the cursor changes to the clock-symbol, as if something is being done and that is it. when i click again, the cursor goes back to the normal state. when a not-working import happened, the ok, apply, cancel-knobs don’t do anything anymore, but i can close the window with the x-button on the top.
i tried the method described above and placed the files inside the audiofiles-folder in interchange-folder. i can import them from there without problem.
question: what does the small wav-files named after the importfile with L - R endings mean? after importing i find them in the audiofilesfolder.
some strange things: importing small files (drumsamples) works sometimes, not all the time. sometimes only by clicking ok in the dialog, sometimes i can drag and drop them.
that is it for now, maybe this helps to get the problem nailed. at the moment i will import manually, a bit inconvenient, but doable :-).
beside that, i am very happy with mixbus soundwise and with the ardour-daw. nice workflow, very clear and straightforward graphics, easy on the eyes - which i consider very important, with all this eyecandys nowadays in daws. i miss the objectbased editing, which i am acustomed to from samplitude. however, i will make my way into this program. all the best,
