Default "Unable to create record files for one or more tracks. Check your disk allocation..."

Edit: Solved. Didn't have a Workspace set in the session for some reason.

Alright, I'm at a loss. Suddenly after all of these updates I can't record audio. My sessions are on my internal drives (rather than external) but it keeps saying I don't have permission in one way or the other. Any idea what has happened, what is going on and how to freaking fix it?

Thank you in advance!

Are the drive(s) in something else than record mode? Go to your Workspace to find out.

Is your macOS as listed at 10.13.3?

Solved. The session didn't have a Workspace for some reason. Added and set the drive to Record. Thanks all for the replies!

This is happening to me as well.

Drive set to Record, permissions checked.

When I go to Disk Allocation I get the following message "Vector" (attached photo).

The bad thing is that the tracks shown in the window do not exist, they were probably deleted a long time ago yet they show up now.

First time this happens to me.

From what I've read it seems that reformatting the drive is the only solution?

Problem solved

Checked everything, I thought let me open the Session window again and...I had AIFF selected instead of WAV. I then select the WAV option and boom: my session could record again.

Wow - that's exactly what fixed it for me as well. WAV not AIFF.

This was just one drive formatted AFPS. Other drives recorded in AIFF just fine.
