ProTools Pain

I’ve been having a few nights of playing with mixing of some of my demos and some of the demo’s I’ve recorded for other people, trying to get back into the flow of pro-tools so I can do some more recording. For some unknown reason pro-tools has now forgotten where all the audio files are for the recordings, yet the location and disk have not changed at all ?? This is the second time protools has done this and I’ve had to manually go back and tell each track, hey the files are over -> here.

This time there is an added twist, on some of the tracks I did for other people that where almost finished any tracks that have had a reasonable level of elastic audio used on them are being disabled and greyed out saying they are “read only” what the duce ??? I have no idea why this is happening and I’m still trying to figure out it.

I run pro-tools on a Mac, with official digideisgn gear, fully patched applications and %101 compatability yet this is the second time it’s happened.

For the industry standard tool (and lets be real, it is good !) it sure struggles to remember where it’s audio data is.

Back to trying to fix it.
