How can I import a Yurt Rock audio drum loop into my Aeros Gold Looper and create a new song?
Load your audio as backing tracks: Aeros Firmware 5.0.x
6. Backing Tracks
You can now load backing tracks into the Aeros!
Once you boot the Aeros with the SD card inserted for the first time, it will reformat the empty SD card or ask you to convert existing files (Read Bottom of Forum Post First)
Once formatted, the SD card will have a Backing Tracks folder which you can drag and drop your files into.
The Aeros will only support .wav (PCM) files that are 44.1kHz and 24bit. They can be mono or stereo.
To import a file, you must be in an empty song or create an empty song that is in freeform mode (we plan to make backing tracks compatible with Autoquantize and Quantize mode soon). If you wish to import multiple tracks per part, you must turn Sync Tracks off. If you wish to have sync tracks on, you can only import one backing track per part into the first track.
Backing tracks must be loaded sequentially starting with the first track.
We may expand the possibilities for file formats and sync rules later but this is a great first step.
How to Load a Backing Track:
- Click the pencil icon to edit the song
- Make sure you have Song Grid Mode set to freeform. If you want to import multiple backing tracks per part, you must have the Sync Tracks setting off.
- Note: You cannot change the Song Grid Mode to freeform and then load the file, first change the setting, hit save, open the edit screen again, and then start importing tracks.
- Scroll down and select Load File with your finger on the touchscreen
- Choose a file from the list using the touchscreen. This can also be done using the wheel to change the selection and the right Aeros button to choose an option.
- Once selected, you will return to the song settings screen, click Save in the top right to load in the backing track.
- Repeat steps 3-5 to load multiple backing tracks into a song part
Note: If you want to import multiple backing tracks per part, you must have the Sync Tracks setting off before you start importing.
Aeros beta 5.2.0 allows you to also import into a quantized song file, allowing you to make the most of MIDI sync

When using freeform on a 2 x 2 mode whatever is recorded on the 2nd track does not follow the first one. They are totally out of sync, even if recorded perfectly on time.
I use a drums backing track on 1A and on 1B I record a bass line…nothing…it will go out of synch. Anyone knows why?
Also, how is it possible that the master volume changes on every single song. That’s super weird. Am i doing something wrong? I tried it all…i turn the master volume down to reach my volume level…change song and it goes back up. Not ideal at all on a live setting. Thanks much y’all
This is the nature of Freeform, this is how it is meant to work
If you have the sync tracks song setting enabled and set to either Start & Length or just Length, this will likely have the sync you are looking for
If you have updated to 5.2.1 (now on WiFi), you can now import tracks into a quantized or autoquantized song making the synchronization even easier and makes it possible to use the Aeros with the BeatBuddy synced while also using backing tracks.
