Loading Samples. Existing sound samples can be loaded into Audio Evolution to build up a mix. The standard format is AIFF. It is best if possible to convert all the samples you need beforehand to AIFF and store them together on the hard drive. Any samples on CD should be transferred to the hard drive, as playback from CDs is too slow to be reliable. If you request a WAV sample, Audio Evolution will automatically make a copy of it in AIFF format in the current project drawer. This may not be convenient if the file is large, so it is best to prepare beforehand. But for short samples such as percussion loops, the automatic conversion is ideal.

Note that Audio Evolution does not accept 8-bit samples. Any 8-bit AIFF files will have to be converted to 16-bit before use.
