I am trying to sample a very short mp3 file using the record button on the sampler, but it does not seem to pick it up - admittedly I have to hit play on the deck and record at the same time but it doesn't catch any of it, except once I got a small section towards (not at) the end. The sample is no more than 2 seconds long. Can I load an mp3 as a sample (.vdj) or do I need to record it for sure? Is there any latency with sample record? I have it working when recording from a longer mp3 file. Thank you. (My first forum post)

if the sample is not needing to be looped you can load it directly into the sampler as an mp3 or wav file, if you are recording a loop you save that by loading the loop sample to a deck, then set the bpm and the grid correctly. now with the track paused you can set a loop as large as the sample then press record on the sample bank you wish to record. You don't need to press play as it samples the audio buffer... Just remember to save your sample before you quit otherwise it will be lost...

just thought id point out that the samples with .vdj as the file extensions are simply wav files with .vdj instead of .wav
im not sure if it will make any diffrence but is helpfull to know as much as you can about vdj

i have tried this and it worked once but it doesn't anymore. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

good pm, how to change mp3 files to VDJ sample files?

Don't bother just drop the mp3 into the sample pad, or record the mp3 as a recorded loop no converting required.

No converting required to simply play it, but if you edit it in any way (even just change the gain) VDJ will insist you save it, and it will be saved in vdj format - so you always end up with a duplicate of your original sample anyway.
This may be OK for a handful of stuff, but it's a PITA when you've got thousands, all in more standard formats, and any changes you make (for example because there's no way of saving the sample fader volumes) create a new file.

Not true every time groovin if you save before being prompted then it over writes the original sample.

So it's not consistent? It gets worse! :-)
Plus AFAIK there's no popup/tooltip/text to inform you of whether it's writing to your file or creating another - or any options for setting a preference.
