"Path to session contains illegal characters"
hi everyone,
i'm asking for some help on behalf of a friend, who's having an issue with pt 10 on his macbook pro.. -- here are the particulars of the problem: newly installed protools 10 when i open a new session, when i try to save, i get the comment: Path to session contains illegal characters ( / ). when i open a new session, and import sound files, and try to save, i also get: Path to session contains illegal characters ( / ). Mac processor - 2.2 Ghz intel core i7 OS - 10.7.5 8 Gb ram using glyph firewire drive everytime i have opened any session, i can not save it, even after adding files / regions. i always get that statement: Path to session contains illegal characters ( / ). and it does not: no "/" -- many thanks for any tips! |

Re: "Path to session contains illegal characters"
Select the session file in the finder, command-I for get info. Look at the file path there; I'll bet you'll see an illegal character somewhere.
best, rich

Re: "Path to session contains illegal characters"
Is the path to save going through to the Glyph drive? A couple of months back I had one of my GPT50's go south and it was, amongst other things (like -50 errors), giving me the illegal character error message. And it only happened when I had Kontakt 5 (the AAX version) in the session.
