Paul Mesaros Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I need help starting sequencing please. What am I doing wrong? I click on file, new sequence, then click on my song, then open, the page comes up for artist name,song title,how many chanels and etc. I fill that in then click OK. The next page that comes up has VU wizard beat wizard etc. But the entire page is all greyed out with an error box showing that says beat wizard error box - Can't Init. Conver. Where did I go wrong Everything was OK for the first 3 songs. Now I can't get to my next songs. Anyone with ideas please and thank you?

Guest wbottomley Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 What format is your music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Did this all happen in a single run of the program (i.e. you did three songs, and tried the fourth, without closing the Sequence Editor), or did you close the Sequence Editor in between?What happens if you close the Sequence Editor and try it again?What happens if you try it on a different song?What happens if you copy one of the songs that it worked on to a new filename, and try it on that?

Dtedebear Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I have a similar problem...I download an album from AMAZON with several MP3 songs. When I try to use one of the songs in a music sequence I get a "init conversion" error. Every thing else seems to be OK, the song plays, the TAPPER wizzard works but the UV and BEAT wizzard do not, get that error for both. I have several MP3 and WMA songs copied from my CDs through the MS Media Player and these work fine -- NO INIT CONVERSION error. What is so special about AMAZON MP3 songs?I did notice that the downloaded bit rate was 320kbps as opposed to 128kbps for my converted tunes that work -- is this the problem?H E L P,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Can each of you please tell me exactly what the error message says, word for word, no abbreviations?There should be two parts to it: the title bar of the message box and the text inside the message box. I am interested in both.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iresq Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 You should run them through audacity and convert to wav. or 160 mp3. See if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtedebear Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sent an e-mail with a pic of the error msg and MP3 attached. File size is about 4M.I will try the audacity route next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtedebear Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 OK, I opened and exported one of the offending files in Audacity as a MP3. It was converted to 128kbps on export. Now the LOR II software can convert the song and the BEAT and UV features are working. May be a bug in the LOR software with higher quality tunes.

Paul Mesaros Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 MP3's but I did change one to WAV to see if it would convert. It didn't. Funny thing is that 3 other MP3's convert just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mesaros Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 I don't really remember exactly if the Sequence Editor was closed between songs. My best guess is that it wasn't. Three songs work just fine - Beat wizard, etc but 3 others will not. I changed one to WAV and it didn't make any difference.Closing the Sequence Editor did not help anything. The attempts were done over a three day period.Three different songs - downloaded from Amazon and WalMart - get the error.I am going to try Dtedebear's solution and hopefully I will be as successful as he. I will let you know.Thanks allPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I have noticed that some people have had that problem with downloading music in the past. Audacity seems to be the work-around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mesaros Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 I am happy to report that the suggested workaround of running the songs through Audacity and exporting them as MP3 128kbps was exactly right. No more INIT CONVERSION error. I am back on track. Many thanks to all! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I don't think the bit rate is the problem - I tried using Audacity to export one of these files to 320 kbps (which is the same rate as it started with), and it worked fine after doing so.
