I recently purchased MM 2013 Premium. I installed it on both my laptop & my desktop which is the server on my home network, though this has no true bearing on my issue. In both installations I am experiencing problems with the soundpools.
I purchased a couple of soundpool discs on eBay (16 & 15) & I downloaded the two free collections from Catooh--"Best of Soundpools Volume 1" and "1000+ Sounds." I can play the samples with Windows Media Player, iTunes & Media Player Lite so I know the files are OK. I've tried the default folder hierarchy and I've tried altering it to a more logical arrangement but that hasn't made any difference.
From within Music Maker I click on "Add" to import then navigate to the directories and select the folder. It appears to imporrt them. Tthey appear in the soundpool listings. But the samples/loops will not play when selected for preview or if I add them to a track..
It's bizarre but in some cases, if I try to do a "blanket" import by selecting the parent folder, for example Sounpool 16, the status bar gets to 99% then the program crashes. I have to launch Task Manager to close it. I learned (the hard way) that I can import them one folder at a time and, in spot-checking, confirmed that they work but still some do not.
Any ideas?
TIA,
