Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble importing mp3 files into ACW. I keep getting this error:
error converting C:\RealBand\input.txt
Is anyone else having problems like this? Can anyone help? After I ok that msg I get a msg saying;
Problem converting file. I do have the lame mp3 encoder installed. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Bert,
What version of Realband do you have and is the latest build for it installed?
Regards,
Noel

Thank you Noel, that was exactly my problem. I updated to the latest build et voila, it works again. This would be a good time to thank you for all your past contributions to the forums. I do appreciate it!

Thank you, Bert. I appreciate the thought  I'm pleased it's working again for you. The ACW is a great little tool. All the best, Noel

Hello again, well I thought I had the problem fixed but when I tried opening the same mp3 file again I had the same error msgs. Can't figure out why it worked once and now it won't work. Any help appreciated. I thought I would open the same file in BIAB with the ACW and low & behold it opened without a hitch. Maybe that will help someone to try & figure why the same file won't open in RealBand ACW. Got me stumped for sure.

Take a look at what is in the input.txt file you reference. See if it yields any clues. Also double check the mp3 conversion codec being used.
Saying you have the Lame mp3 codec installed doesn't mean PT is using it.
Try a different, more common sample rate and see if it works, like 128k stereo

Hi Rharv, here is what I found in input.txt
PTWExePath=C:\RealBand\
Tool=1
NumberOfInputFiles=1
SongSamplingRate=96000
SongBitResolution=16
Input=1=C:\Users\Bert\AppData\Local\Temp\PTATMP2.WAV
Output=1=C:\Users\Bert\AppData\Local\Temp\^2.WAV
FileOffset=1=0
StartFrame=1=0
EndFrame=1=0
TrackNumber=1=1
PTWTicks=1=0
AppendMaxMS=1=0
The wav file they are referencing on the input line is not what I was trying to input. Don't have any idea if that makes any diff. anyway.
I also found an input.txt file in my BIAB folder....I can take a look at that also, this is what I found:
EDIT: I see the sample rate for RB is 9600
PTWExePath=C:\bb\
Tool=1
NumberOfInputFiles=1
SongSamplingRate=44100
SongBitResolution=16
Input=1=C:\Users\Bert\Documents\1.mp3
Output=1=C:\Users\Bert\AppData\Local\Temp\^0.WAV
FileOffset=1=0
StartFrame=1=0
EndFrame=1=0
TrackNumber=1=1
PTWTicks=1=0
AppendMaxMS=1=0
BIAB did open the file using ACW but RB won't so far.
I see the sampling rate is 96000 in RB & 41000 in BIAB....could this make a diff?

I have joy Rharv....I think. I deleted the RB input.txt file and now ACW accepts the file. RB regenerated a new input.txt file & I THINK it is fixed. Thanks for your help. I'm going to try another file now to make sure.

Also Rharv the sample rate is back to 41000 in the RB input.txt file....so the sampling rate must have been the culprit.

not only does this work in the AUTOMATIC chord wizard, it also works in the AUDIO chord wizard  (Mom should have named me "Marty Pence")

Yeah, I noticed the 16/96000 bitrate too.
Glad it's working now .. many times simply deleting a file will cause PGProducts to rebuild and reset. It's just figgering out which file! Different needs require different files.

is there any documentation on this? Which files to delete for which problems? Seems like it would be a useful resource... but I guess that's part of what happens when you return to factory settings, eh?

Yes, 'factory settings' reset does most of them at once. That's why it is suggested quite often.
In his case a specific file was mentioned, and it was a text file, so I figured 'take a look at it' since the program already said the problem is in this file. Just seemed natural next step to me, and then the bitrate stood out.
I learned on this one too.
