Hi there @Officer_Wes
What you’re probably doing is dragging an audio sample onto a new Midi track in the arrangement view, in this case Live will always ask you to convert audio to Midi. What you need to do is to create your empty Midi track and drag your audio onto the device panel inside Live and then Live will load the audio sample into a simpler instrument device by default.
@Tekalight Thank you so much! Your explanation made it work.
Also – really appreciate your quick reply. Sorry for the delay responding:
My computer appeared to crash right after seeing your note and I took it to the computer shop. Thankfully it turned out to just be a faulty video cable.
No worries, happy if that could help 
… and I swear I don’t cast voodoo spells to computers via my replies…LOL 
Thank you for the course! I am almost done following it while working on my track at the same time. I feel like I learned so much from this!
Great course for a newbie and you really get to play around with Abletons features.
Great course! Really enjoyed that you used mostly ableton features.
Great course, good explanations and instructions throughout the course
