Can't import audio in PT 12
Hi Everyone!
A couple of weeks ago, while working on assembling a record PT stopped letting me bring in outside audio files. When I click to import audio, an error message comes up. Anyone know how to fix this, or even just a way around it? It happens in all of my sessions, new and old across multiple hard drives. The error is pasted bellow. Could not complete the Import Audio command because Assertion in "/Volumes/Development/158347/ProTools/NewFileLibs/Cfd/MacBuild/../MacOS/Cfd_ImportAudioDialogMacOS.mm", line 573. |

Hi, You might try a repair of permissions on the drive in question.

Re: Can't import audio in PT 12
1) Try working from a different drive and see what happens
2) Try trashing prefs and database/catalogs (use Pete Gates' utility)

Re: Can't import audio in PT 12
Thanks for the replies! I tried repairing disk permissions to the drives, and that didn't seem to do it. It happens regardless of what hard drive I'm on.
So now I'll try dumping the prefs and such. Rich, can you give me any more advice on how to do this? I'm not aware of "Pete Gate's Utility". Thank you all again for the help! |

Oh, awesome! Thank you!
I should have searched for it first. I'm pretty lame and new to the ways of forums. |

Re: Can't import audio in PT 12
Hi again everyone!
I tried clearing the prefs via PG, and working off 5 different hard drives, but I'm still getting this error when I try to pull in audio files. Any other thoughts? If I could do this session in wavelab, at this point I would just go that rout. Here is there error again - Could not complete the Import Audio command because Assertion in "/Volumes/Development/158347/ProTools/NewFileLibs/Cfd/MacBuild/../MacOS/Cfd_ImportAudioDialogMacOS.mm", line 573.

Re: Can't import audio in PT 12
It's always a good idea to check for illegal characters in any of the filenames, or in any of the folder or drive names that are in the path to the files. I have had illegal characters cause assertion errors in the past. May not help, but worth a look.
