Help-Bad Data Midi Chunk List

[PhilBuckle]

Opening a session this morning and I get the following-

"Could not complete the Open Recent Session 6 command because bad data encountered while translating MIDI Chunk list."

I get the same result when I try to open all of the 10 backups from yesterday.
Sessions saved the day before are ok.

Here is the evil part. I cannot import ANY of the tracks to a new session without getting this problem. This includes any audio track as well.
I'm stuck.
I've trashed all preferences and data bases numerous times to no avail.

If this is a corrupt session then why are all 10 backups also corrupt?

I have lost a days recording and I need it back urgently.

Can any one help if I supply the corrupt session? Any suggestions?

I updated to 7.3.1.cs1 with the same result.
Thanks.

I posted the exact same error a few days ago... and it happened on a brand new session created with 7.3.1cs1 (M-Powered)

I ended up starting over on the song...


Steve,

This seems like session corruption, but it is hard to tell.

Would anyone be able to send a session that is experiencing this issue?

[PhilBuckle]

Yes, where do I send it?

I'm hoping that you can fix this session as I have a deadline. I've moved on to another track but the record company are expecting to hear this track by Monday.
I cannot start this session again. I have paid players on this session and this budget will end up coming out of my pocket, not to mention the days work down the drain.

Other users should be very afraid.
There is no getting into the session or any backups.
So you are now working without any safety net at all.......everyday.

Not even a disc image backup is going to save you................get the picture?
I hope that no one else encounters this problem.

[DigiTechSupt]

I don't think we'll be able to do anything before Monday, but if you post your email address or put it in your profile, we can email you instructions of how to send the session to us.

It happened to me without any reason 5 mins ago.



Why ? The why is , we are all spending over 10000usd for this [bleep] system , and our work gets [bleep] up .

What is this ? Also why auto back up files get the same problem as well ? So what is the meaning of Auto Back Up ?

This is a serious problem , and digidesign has to cover this , and yes this is an order in the name of all people who lost their works

Happened to me several months ago. Only once but terminal to the session. Had to start over.
HD 3 Accel system here not M-powered. Ivory was being used.
Scary.

[dreamgroove]

than all the users had to come over in one forum , and push digidesign to solve it .

in this case how we can continue like this ?

[Rail Jon Rogut]

Do y'all have Auto-Save on? What happens if you try and load the most recent backups?
