Ok,I am using a Sampler Program to create some Drumbeats for this solo Project I'm working on.I didn't know what was wrong,but when I attemped to Import the .wav File the DP-02 didn't see it.I Dragged it into the Folder on the PC and it showed that it was there on the PC Screen,but the DP-02 didn't recognize it.
I called Tech Support and Alas I found out The DP-02 apparently can only Import MONO .wav Files.My Drum Software only exports Stereo .wav files or any other Kind of file for that matter(.mp3,etc.).
So I was stuck.How was I going to do it.After Googling some Ideas I came to a Thread where someone had the same problem and the response to him was to us Audacity to "Split" the Stereo Track and make it Mono.I tried that and I guess it worked as far as Splitting it.I haven't tried to Import it since,we had to stop working that day.
So I hope that is the Solution.
But here is the Problem:What If I made a Killer Drum Track that had some of the Drum Kit Pieces Separated and/or panned into different Stereo Positions and I wanted that Sound?I guess if you make it Mono that would be Impossible.That Kind of really sucks but to tell the truth it is really only a drum Track we're talking about and it doesn't have to sound Like It was Done Live in A Studio (which I thought the DP-02 was gonna replace!!).
So I have Considered something else and I wonder if this will work.
What If I did Export and/or Save the STEREO File (the Drum Track) to the PC,
and then try to run the SoundCard output L/R into Both Inputs on the DP-02 (of course Recording 2 Tracks Simultaneously)and Play it on the PC while Rcording those 2 Tracks Live into 2 Inputs assigned to 2 Channels?
Wouldn't that give me a Stereo Mix of the Drum Tracks?I mean the Left Side or Channel would be on Track 1 and the Right Channel would be on Track 2 if I am correct.Then,I could Bounce those down to a Single Stereo Track and then Record the Instruments or even leave them seperate (because I have 8 Tracks to use without Bouncing).
Do you think that would work?I mean It sounds like it would be tedious and Time Consuming but it would be cool if I had to have a Stereo Drum Track.
BTW,I am new to this machine..I only know the Basic Functions and I have had it for like 6 onths but we haven't used it really.
One of My main Concerns is how you would be careful getting those signals into the DP-02 Safely.I know you can control the Input on the Board.I would think it would be Safe because the Line Out from the PC is not a speaker out so it is just a Signal.What I am trying to avoid is overloading the Input and Blowing it.
Another thought:I could also record the Stereo Drum Track and Burn it to a CD and Run the Output of the CD Player (L/R out) into the 2 Channels.That would be a stait Signal.
his sounds like it would work but I would like to get some Feedback and/or Opinions on this before I proceed.My DP-02 was pretty Expensive and I need it..I love it and I can't replace it so I have to be CAREFUL!!
Thanks a lot.I look foreward to any help froma anyone.

I haven't got an answer for you as I'm new to the dp-02 (new to recording in general really) as well. This is something I've wondered about how it works myself however, because I've thought about getting some drum software or a drum machine of sorts for some solo stuff away from the band myself, so I'll probably be watching this topic too. Anyway since we're both new to this gadget, perhaps we'll be able to help each other out as we come upon other problems and solutions and such. Good luck with your dp-02.
