"UserData" is not an audio playback volume?
 

Hi

I am a noob so sorry if this question is answered elsewhere (but I have searched in the forums and on the internet)...

I have just installed ProTools First and want to use it with my Scarlett 2i2. However, whenever I try to create a project - from a template or otherwise - I get this error message:

"UserData" is not an audio playback volume

I have no idea what it means and can't find a way to fix it. Any help or pointers would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

PS I am running Windows 10 and have just updated to the beta Focusrite 3.2 drivers

Hi,

When you create a new session, create a new folder on your hard drive to save the session to. it sounds like its defaulted to this userdata folder which isn't usable as an audio drive etc.

So create a new folder called Pro Tools Sessions then inside this folder create a new folder for each song you create. this should work.

let us know if this doesn't work.

Thanks Chris,

Yes, that makes sense - but I don't see where to set the folder for the project / session to be created in.

I'm feeling particularly stupid at the minute - perhaps I need to read some docs or watch some tutorials??

Suggestions welcomed.

I don't think you can save a PT1st session to a drive. Don't they only get stored in AVID's Cloud?
