Dragging audio from Finder duplicate tracks
This has been present in at least as far back as 2018. Usually when I drag in multiple audio files from the finder into a project, it will create the tracks I'm expecting for the new audio files, but then also creates doubles which have the audio on them as well.
What I mean: 1) Drag kick.aif, snare.aif, hats.aif into a session 2) The tracks created are as follows: Kick Snare Hats Kick.1 Snare.1 Hats.1 Sometimes I'll get third or forth duplicates as well which get labeled .2, .3 and so on. This has nothing to do with stereo tracks being de-interleved into monos. These are exact duplicates referencing the same audio files. This was occuring all last year on 2018 with High Sierra and now on my freshly installed 2019.5 on a new computer on Mojave. Please make it stop. Last edited by Teej; 05-27-2019 at 10:30 AM. |

Re: Dragging audio from Finder duplicate tracks
Can't duplicate no matter what I do. 3 or 70 tracks dragged in. mono or 7.1.
Only difference is I don't use the ancient AIF format. Only Wav.

Re: Dragging audio from Finder duplicate tracks
"Ancient AIF" - you do realise WAV format is nearly as old, right?

I just made it happen dragging in a combination of MP3 and WAV files. I am unable to make it happen with only WAV files right now, although I feel like it's happened to me before. It never happens with single files. Tried dragging in an MP3. Created one stereo track. Dragged in that same MP3 and another MP3, it creates four stereo tracks. |

Re: Dragging audio from Finder duplicate tracks
Yes. But always evolving. Whereas AIF is dead.

I've only tried my home system. Going to 3 other studio systems in a little while and will try those though I haven't seen it happen and none of the other engineers (at least 9 of us) have mentioned it happening amongst the many, many PT systems we have in use. They are all Ultimate though. Maybe it doesn't happen with those.

Re: Dragging audio from Finder duplicate tracks
I haven't had the duplicate track problem upon dragging from the finder, only the duplicate presets creation bug.
I did however (and reported it) have a situation where dragging a stereo wav from the finder to a stereo (yes, for sure stereo) track turned the audio file into mono with the same wav shape on top and bottom. But so far have not had this with Mojave and 19.5.

Zero issues. Have you tried taking a different (new) drive, doing a clean install of macOS and install Pro Tools and see what happens?
