Default Re: PT 10 "Unable to parse audio file" error

Hi, I know this probably won't help some of you, but it may help someone else reading this searching the forum looking for a solution. I just came across this same issue this morning, only I couldn't even open my session because of this problem.

In my case I was able to find the audio file in the Audio Files folder, and I just deleted it, and that fixed the issue. Of course, that means the audio file will be missing from the session now. Before deleting it, I was able to figure out by listening to a couple audio files before and after the offending one and realized it was just a small punched-in file that I can easily just redo, so for me it wasn't a huge deal.

Obviously this is not the most optimal solution, and in some cases not an option at all, but it may be the lesser of evils in some cases.

FYI, the crazy thing is that I'm pretty sure this happened specifically as a result of backing up my drive. (Carbon Copy Cloner, which has been working fine for me for the last several years.)

This was a brand-new session that I just started yesterday, and there was a problem with ejecting the drive after the b/up was finished. I ended up having to force-eject it. That's probably what did it in my case.

Just my 2 cents.
Shane
