And upgrading your version of pro tools really doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand. I've been beta testing Pro Tools for about 10 years and have used it every day since 1995 and I've never seen an audio file evaporate. You can manually relink the files or have pro tools try to automatically do it. Pro Tools uses 'unique ID's' for all of their audio files and the files that are missing have become unlinked to the ID that the session is looking for. Did you use noise reduction or time stretching audiosuite plugs on the affected files? If you use a template to create your sessions, you need to check the disc allocation before you start recording.Īnother reason that this happens is when using audiosuite plug ins, files can sometimes get written to incorrect places. Occasionally a session file or audio file will get corrupt and become unreadable which is why we back up. Often times what happens is the disc allocation gets funky because a session has been copied or the disc that the session was created on was not authorized to write audio files to so the files get written to another drive. I usually back up the older file to DVD and forge ahead with the new file on the hard drive. A word of caution here however as it will not rewrite omfi files and more importantly session backup files. Be careful of course as to where you allocate this new session as again Pro Tools is gonna do what it thinks is right and not always what you think is right. A completely new, re-written session with corrected file addresses. This will force Pro Tools to re-write all the files audio/midi/fades to a new nest. It's simply a case of knowing your enemy.įurther, as a real solution to this problem Pro Tools offers a "save copy in" function. Backing up in this case will only duplicate the mis-management. The whole "backup" issues brought here are certainly valid but not in context with mis managed audio files. On a related note disk allocation can also be confused by Pro Tools when someone moves a session from one drive to another or worse from one computer to another. Getting into the habit of checking your disk allocation before recording will solve that problem forever. It's (Pro Tools) doing what it thinks its been told to do. Let's say once in every ten thousand sessions. Once in a blue moon while opening a session Pro Tools gets confused and simply re-directs where it thinks the files should be stored. The problem of file allocation and most likely in this case "file mis-allocation" is an old one.

They don't just evaporate I know this can be frustrating but like any problem in a software application the culprit is almost ALWAYS the pilot in command.
