BOUNCING AIFF 44.1 16bit HELP...

[DLinares]

When I bounce my Project, I can see the .aiff file in spotlight during the bounce but when the post conversion of the track completes, the bounced file disappears and it doesnt show up in the destination fodler. This is the first time this has happened to me and I've tried bouncing other tracks and there is no problem. Only a couple of projects I've tried have done it I does anyone know how to work around this problem. Thank you.

You don't happen to have it set to convert to mp3, do you?

If so, it takes 2 steps: bounce to aif, then convert to mp3. The last time I used the mp3 option it didn't keep my aif afterwards. It really does "convert" rather than "copy to mp3".

Can you find the file using the Finder afterwards? It's hard to believe the file is completely gone.

I seem to remember seeing a similar problem discussed here recently (files disappearing after bounce). I know the search function here sucks, but my memory ain't that great either.

You don't happen to have it set to convert to mp3, do you?

I'm very familair with ProTools, I have it set to AIFF and I am very aware of what folder I'm sending it to. While I am bouncing the track I see it in spot light and after the conversion the bounced file dissapears. What is going on? I tried changing the format to SDII or WAV but still, the same problem occurs. I need to bounce a couple of tracks by tomorrow. Does anyone have any type of solid answer? Thanks for any help.

Can anyone who really knows ProTools help me out here?

Is it on the same drive as the session, or are you putting your bounces on a different drive?

Check your workspace browswer within PT and make sure the drive you are bouncing to is set to "R"
