Re: Please Help! PT 8.0 Audio files are all over the place!

I am sorry if I sound harsh, I am really not like this. This has come very close to costing me a client! It HAS cost me a lot of money to bring in the session players to retrack the parts that have been deleted. My system has cost a lot of money but I treated it as an investment into my business. I have been an engineer for 4 years and have been a software systems engineer for over 15 years. In my entire carreer, I have never seen anything that has deleted files unless the user deleted them on purpose. If you look at the cs2 update it states that Pro Tools DOES delete files! There was a fix for it supposedly. Maybe your engineers need to look at that MAJOR BUG further!!! |

Believe me, I did exactly as you described to no avail. I know the sessions should be backed up every time you finished recording. But you should be able to expect some measure of reliablilty to be confident that the files wont be deleted before you have a chance to back up. |

If there were such a bug, thousands of people would be up here screaming. The answer must lie elsewhere. I have never had this happen and have used PT since the early 90s.

Re: Please Help! PT 8.0 Audio files are all over the place!
Yes, i have tried this exactly same same thing! I have spent over 30 hours, listening to every audio file that the sysem could find, both on the audio drive and the system drive. I would not be here, make an ***** out of myself if the files were on my computer somehere!! Why is it so hard to believe me? GEEZ!!! Again, everyone I have talked to has had this same problem at some point! It just so happened that it is going to cost me a lot of money!!!!!! Is this just a bug that affects people from Northern Oklahoma? I dont think so. This happens a lot more than what DIGI wants to admit. So, DIGI is there a fix for this in cs3?? cs 4?? Version 9??? 10???? When is this going to be resolved finally????????

Re: Please Help! PT 8.0 Audio files are all over the place!
Fixed: Regions Are Inadvertently Deleted and Pro Tools Crashes When Opening Sessions Which Had Their Session Start Time Changed (Item #113177)
After changing the session start time and maintaining time code, Pro Tools will delete additional playlists and crash with a kernel panic after saving and closing the session. You may see any of the following errors prior to the crash: "Could not complete the close session command because basic_string::_S_create" or "Bus error" in thread "Main Thread", at address 0x0." I would also be interested to know whether this is refering to just regions (which are only references to actual audio files) or actual audio files. If there was a bug which deleted actual audio files I would be alarmed. Could Tech Support please clarify what this bug fix is refering to. |

Re: Please Help! PT 8.0 Audio files are all over the place!
Falcon, I understand your frustration, but let me point out a few things - first, I've been a Pro Tools user for 15+ years and at Digi for over 6. I have heard hundreds, if not thousands, of reports of Pro Tools 'deleting' files, many, many of them with descriptions similar to yours. In all those years, there have been extremely few situations where that has actually happened and those have always been widely reported and typically only occurred in very specific situations, such as the above where you would have received and error message that tipped us off that something bad had occurred.
Now, I'm not saying that you may have some very unusual situation that caused this, but the description of the problem and your description of how you're creating sessions, leads me to believe it was user error. The reason I believe this is that there are hundreds of thousands of PT users out there - if PT was actually deleting files, we'd have a massive amount of reports. Now I'm trying to help you identify exactly what occurred here, but your tone and insistence that it should be obvious is not helping much. I can't identify the problem if I can't get specifics from you - and by specific I mean very specific details about how you're creating sessions. Quote:

Lastly, this statement from your first post is what leads me to believe that this is user error: Quote:
Can you see where I'm coming from with all of this? Believe me, if there's a legitimate problem here, I want to get to the bottom of it, but the evidence so far does not support that. If you can help me identify that there's actually a bug, I'm more than happy to get it logged and fixed, but we need to identify exactly what's happening to cause the problem in the first place. |
