Open from disk- what file format?

1

Newbie question- can you open a recording you have saved as MP3? What format should the file be?

2

if you saved the project to disk you would have saved it in JSON format. you would have EXPORTED as MP3 or WAV.

Thanks very much, sorry I should have clarified, I’ve saved a song I played on bass via my phone and its a mp3. Do I need to save this as a JSON file to load it into Hooktheory? Or can’t the software do that?

Hi and thank you for your question.

Currently you can’t load any mp3s into Hookpad. You can import monophonic MIDI files and json files which were created with a Hookpad export.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

you would want to convert it to MIDI. you could likely find some free online app which could convert it. then import it.
