I'm waiting for the day when I just hook my brain up to the DAW and think about a song and have it converted to digital automatically.

Yeah - I would do that, but it would always come out something like 'Ditch the wife, dodge the kids, duck the bills', or something like that - on accordian. :)

A month ot so ago I said: "Enough futzing, I'm concentrating on Reaktor for a year!" Still concentrating, it is one very powerful bit of software.
 
Regards,

Sharke - 
I have Reaktor 5 - version 5.8.0. 
Your problem appears to be a quirk in Beatslicer 2 - 
I could get Beat Slicer 2 to load audio files in SONAR X2a by doing the following:
1) In the (Reaktor) browser, click on "Disks" to browse the file system
2) Navigate to a drive/directory file with an audio loop
3) Drag the file from the browser to the beatslicer loop window
4) At this point, if you right-click where you were trying previously, you should see a context windows come up with a right-click - Choose File, then navigate to the loop you want to open in BeatSlicer. 
It seems to work here - although I don't think the initial drag attempt does anything except it seems to trigger something in Beatslicer that sets up the right-click option.
It's probably not the way it is intended to work, and there may be something else that enables this in the first place (rather than the drag) - I was just playing around to see if I could get it to load a loop by drag and drop and happened to see the right click menu option from then on.
Hope this helps
 
 
 

Thanks Brando, I will try that later. The quirk seems to be present when I use Reaper as a host too - I'm surprised I can't find any reference to it online.

Brando!

Your the man, that worked. Good find!

I knew there was a reason I was'nt using this ensemble.

Yep fantastic random workaround, it definitely works!

hey guys. what dragging a file onto the ensemble does is toggle the edit mode in reaktor.  you can do this manually by clicking the button in the pic.  it's helpful to click the (i) button too that way you get tooltips.

By golly you're right - I'm glad I omitted the part about turning around 3 times and doing the hokey-pokey. LOL Thank you - good catch.

Ahhh OK...I was introduced to Beatslicer by the Groove3 Reaktor tutorial, and the guy never mentioned the fact that you have to have edit mode enabled.
