Drag and Drop Not Working

[ryanoelke]

Hello - All of a sudden dragging and dropping audio files into ProTools doesn't work for me (importing .wav files). Any reason why this might be happening and what I can do to fix this?

MBox 2
7.4.2 (updated with 7.4.2cs2)
Macbook Pro 10.5.5

Since the last time it worked I used a friend's Micro instead of my MBox 2, in case that matters. If I use the manual import it works. Drag and Drop works in other audio programs, like Soundtrack Pro.

I've deleted preferences, databases, restarted the computer, as well as repaired disk permissions. Also verified the MBP disk and my Lacie hard drive using Disk Utility. Both checked out without any problems.

The problem happens in all old and new sessions.

I'd start with deleting Preferences and Databases as per the General Troubleshooting thread (link above).

Also check to see that the sample rate of the audio your trying to drag in matches that of the session.

1. Deleted databases and preferences, restarted. Didn't solve the problem.
2. Sample rate of the audio is the same as the session.

I'm going to repair disk permissions, but is there any other things to try that might solve this drag and drop problem?

thanks!!:)

I had this happen recently, and it turned out to be a corrupted session. I went back to a backup version and everything was fine. Does this problem occur in all your PT sessions, or just one?

Unfortunately, this is happening with all old sessions and all new sessions:P One interesting thing happened last night - I manually imported audio into a new session, then it allowed me to drag and drop one audio file. This hasn't happened again though.
