Problem importing Audio File

Post by Lagi Pittas » Mon Dec 15, 2025 1:47 pm

Something I last did maybe 6 years ago doesnt seem to work.

Im using LC 9.6.9

I select file/import as control/ audio file. It lists the audio files (.wav), I select and get no error but the "audiofiles" section in the browser is never updated.
I then choose list all audio files in folder and it cannot see any audio files.

I installed version 9.6.3 - still the same problem. Is this a regression that's never been picked up?

Regards Lagi

Hi Lagi,

I tried to do an Audio import using 9.6.10 (9.6.9 crashes at startup on my Arm Mac using Sequoia 15.7.2) and it imported an .aiff and .wav file without problem using "select file/import as control/ audio file".

The audio file showed up in the Project Browser and it played also.


Kind regards
Bernd
