Default Rex files work won't follow tempo

Greetings, I recently made a post about trouble with Rex files over in the "Pro Tools LE Windows Systems: 003, 002, Mbox, 001" section which was probably the wrong section of the forum for this post. A rookie mistake, so don't flame me for the double post. Hopefully I'll do better over here.

When I add a rex file to a track in PT8 in acts as a standard wav file ie I can't get it to follow the session tempo.

I create a new audio track, set it to follow ticks, then I open up the workspace window and drag the rex file to the track. The rex file doesn't have the group icon on it as expected. It then behaves like a normal wav not a rex file.

I can get it to follow the session tempo but only by using elastic audio.

I've downloaded a few rex files to test, I can't get these to work either so I don't think it's the format. I've downloaded files from a few different sites, here's one from the DUC: http://duc.digidesign.com/showthread...ight=rex+files

Many Thanks.
BT

As I said in your other post, Go to Preferences->Processing...

Under the "Import" section, make sure "Import REX Files as Region Groups" is checked.

And more importantly... right below that there is "Drag and Drop From Desktop Conforms to Session Tempo". The three options are "No Files", "Rex and Acid Files only" and "All Files". Make sure at least "Rex and Acid Files" is selected.

Talking Re: Rex files work won't follow tempo

Thanks, I've now got it working. I have to use "File\Import\Region Groups" though, is this correct? If I drag and drop form the Workspace it doesn't work but if a I drag and drop from Window Explorer it's fine.

Many Thanks.
BT.
