I have an mp3 that was downloaded. I need to import it to the Cubase, so I can track some vocals to it. Everytime I go to import, it will not allow me to import Audio, only cubase music. I have read the manual, but it is still escaping me, how to accomplish this.

Anyone understand how I can format the mp3 to get the cubase to take it?

Thanks for the help! :)
 
Hey true try opening the folder you have the mp3 in and dragging the file into the project window in cubase.

True,

I hope this helps you... I will also post in the new rep point thread.


Importing compressed audio files
During the last years, various audio compression formats have become
very common. The major advantage of using such file formats is
that the file size is significantly reduced, with very little degradation of
sound quality. This allows for quick download, mass storage and easy
transportation.
Cubase SX/SL can import (and export, see page 659) several common
audio compression formats. The procedure is the same as when
importing any non-compressed audio file, with one important thing to
note:
If you import a compressed audio file, Cubase SX/SL will create a copy
of the file and convert this to Wave format (Windows) or AIFF format
(Mac OS X) before importing it (the original compressed file will not be
used in the project). The Wave/AIFF file will be placed in the designated
project Audio folder. Please be aware that the converted Wave/AIFF file
will be several times larger than the original compressed file!
The following file types are supported:
MPEG audio files
MPEG, which stands for Moving Picture Experts Group, is the name
of family of standards used for coding audio-visual information (e.g.
movies, video, music) in a digital compressed format.
Cubase SX can read three types of audio MPEG files: MPEG Layer 1
(file extension *.mpeg), MPEG Layer 2 (*.mp2) and MPEG Layer 3
(*.mp3). Cubase SL can read mp3 only. Currently, mp3 is the most
common of these formats, while the mp2 format is mostly used in
broadcast applications.
• Note that the file extension “.mpeg” can also be used by MPEG video files.
If you select an MPEG video file in the Import Audio dialog you will not be able to import
it.

Import mp3 into Cubase LE

As you know I have a copy of your LE. I loaded Cubase........then did the following. New Project..save it...then...1st create an empty audio track in cubase...and make sure it is selected...(turns gray)

Click...FILE - IMPORT - AUDIO FILE - when the Import Audio screen drops down...in the Look in window find where the file is on your puter. Then at the bottom of the Import Audio screen where it says FILES of type...click the down arrow at the RT side and choose MPEG Layer 3 files (mp3) click open and the file will load into the track you have selected.
