absolutely painful newbie question on preprocessing files #311

Open gregoryalantaylor opened 3 months ago

gregoryalantaylor commented 3 months ago

I'm working through the newish tutorials on training. So far, conda's in and looks like it's doing just fine.

I have a nice folder full of mono audio files with names like 07Something.aiff. The folder's got read-write access, and the files are all 770. Running the preprocess is kicking out the kind of error that suggests that there's either something subtle here or this is one of those howler errors where I've completely missed an important and basic thing: Here's the complaint about my attemps at preprocessing

_(RAVE) gtaylor@MacBook-Pro-3 Downloads % rave preprocess --input_path /volumes/belldog:/Users/gtaylor/Downloads/Foo --outputpath belldog:/Users/gtaylor/Downloads/newfoo
No valid file found in ['/volumes/belldog:/Users/gtaylor/Downloads/Foo']. Aborting

I have no problem with being told I'm an idiot, but I'd really like to continue on my path. Can anyone offer any assistance here?

very minimalistic error, i'd suggest using a less apple specifc format, maybe try converting to wav, thats what i used, worked fine.

Maybe your MAC itself is the problem as i can see the following errors inside the codebase

but i have no idea, just guessing
