cannot drag&drop sound files from finder, so i tried one of the obvious commands from the file menu. "Open" doesn't work, because it seems to be session-related. "Add Audio to Library" won't let me select my WAV file. Just to give it a try, I select a recording done in Peak. It says something like "must convert" (the second time I try, I get no feedback at all). Ok, so the file might be in the "Library". I open the Library window - but it's all white and empty, and there is no clue whatsoever as to what this window might serve for.
OK, let's check the documentation. "Adding audio files and regions to a session", sounds good. A step-by-step manual. Fine! First thing I am supposed to do: "Add Audio to Clipboard". Hmm. Errr. There is no such command in the File menu. No Clipboard command. None! The "add audio to library command" won't let me select WAV files. Help!
(Tried on OS X 10.2.6. Is there something wrong with file creator / type??)
I think the naming of the menu entries ('Add Audio to Library", 'Add SND to Library') and also these old-fashioned Preferences dialogs show that this program needs a major overhaul with respect to usability.

I had the exact same problem. Didn't solve it. 6 CDs of Wave files that Deck thinks are unacceptable...Reply to This
