Drag and Drop Audio from Workspace issue
Hi.
Pro Tools Ultimate 2019.5.0 on iMac Pro Mojave 10.14.5 I am trying to drag and drop a bunch of audio files which are numbered 1 - 40 into a template with corresponding tracks also numbered 1 - 40 and for whatever reason, whenever I do this Pro Tools seems to scramble the order so that I have to go through and manually move every audio file to the track to where it should be. It doesn't matter if I grab all 40 tracks or just 3 of them....they don't stay in alpha/numeric order. Huge time killer. Say for example I have 5.1 interleaved audio files with the following file names: Stem 1 Live Brass Stem 2 Synth Brass Stem 3 Live Strings Stem 4 Synth Strings Stem 5 Hi Perc Stem 6 Lo Perc Stem 7 Synth Perc Loops In the workspace they are in numeric order Stem 1 to Stem 7, top to bottom. Grab all 7 of them together and Drag/Drop to Pro Tools Session with 7 corresponding 5.1 Audio tracks, also numbered 1 - 7 (but track names should be irrelevant). This is what I see: Track 1 Live Brass = Stem 3 Live Strings Track 2 Synth Brass = Stem 1 Live Brass Track 3 Live Strings = Stem 5 Hi Perc Track 4 Synth Strings = Stem 7 Synth Perc Loops Track 5 Hi Perc = Stem 2 Synth Brass Track 6 Lo Perc = Stem 4 Synth Strings Track 7 Synth Perc Loops = Stem 6 Lo Perc Seems pretty random, but it is consistent insofar as the "scrambled" order is the same every time if I Quit Pro Tools and then re-open the session and do it again. Also, it doesn't matter if I only grab, for example, any three consecutive Audio files...they show up out of order top to bottom in the Pro Tools Session. Anyone see this and know what's causing it? I've trashed Prefs/rebooted and restarted protools and still have the issue. Any ideas would be much appreciated. |

Re: Drag and Drop Audio from Workspace issue
Hi, Does it matter if you drag them from a folder or from the clips bin?

Re: Drag and Drop Audio from Workspace issue
From a folder in the finder or from the clips bin it seems to work as I would expect.
That said, I was hoping to find a fix for the problem and not a work around.... |

Re: Drag and Drop Audio from Workspace issue
On my system, PT10, when I drag a clip group from the workspace, only a few of the tracks come onto the timeline, but then if i re-drag it from the clipbin, its proper...

Re: Drag and Drop Audio from Workspace issue
If it is a bug then fix would be newer PT version where the bug has been squashed. As you are on Mojave, try 2019.10 instead of the now current 2019.12 which is released for those who need to run Catalina. Some time soon 2020.x should be out too. If that doesn't help contact Avid Support and explain the situation you think is a bug.

Re: Drag and Drop Audio from Workspace issue
Oh I wasn't thinking of it as a workaround - that's how I usually work.
