This is a repost from our old forum:

Shreeswifty:

hi i am using Grain plane and TT and i cannot seem to get it to load samples properly. I drag the folder to the drop file location and the list populates under each waveform and i can pull down and select a sample name but the waveform does not update in the buffer window, nor the main Grain Plane view window. Maybe it’s the format of the wavs/aiffs i am using? what is the preferred format?

The max window say buffer~: cannot open parser for this file. Does it need mono files?

ANSWER: Grain Plane does not like 24-bit samples. I have a shit ton of samples from Samplephonics i want to use, can you all perhaps add this format? I converted one form 24 bit to 16 and it works fine. Thanks

Hey Shreeswifty. Thanks for posting your questions and subsequent answer.

First could I ask you to list what version of Grain Plane you’re using, your OS and computer specs.

I can successfully use 16-bit and 24-bit samples, both mono and stereo without any issues.

Are you able to host an example file in question so that I can test on my end to attempt to replicate the issues you’re having?

How large in MB are the files in question?

Cheers,
C
