As far as Pro Tools......it seems to be saving some files or folders to my Documents as you guys mentioned. I'm sure this is not correct.

Here is a PT folder in Documents.No Audio Files folder but everything else.

Here is a shot of my PT Preferences showing the location as Documents.

Here is what I see when I click Option-O. Note that it shows the Drumcore loop file under Session Audio Files but it is not actually in the session folder/audio files.

I did a Spotlight search and found Drumcore is saving these loops in a Render folder inside a Drumcore folder in my Documents.

So at this point in time my question is.......Is Pro Tools saving stuff to the right place or do I need to change the location as seen in the preferences picture?
In Answer to the last question What you are seeing in your Preference > Operations tab is the default and is the correct location for those folders , and so the folders in your Documents >Pro Tools folder,,, are correct....
I have exactly the same thing showing in both . Those Items are general preference related and not tied to specific sessions Like the session "Audio files" are.

As far as I can tell you seem to be having two different issues.

#1 the drum loop does not seem to be importing/and or saving as a usable audio file format ( the screen shot is pretty fuzzy of your workspace ) but I think the drum loop file should be showing as a WAV or AIFF etc. in order to be saved to the session audio files folder

#2 the guitar showing up and playing back and showing in the Audio Files folder, and then disappearing ( That is strange and seems like it could be saving issue ) And to be clear when you save, you are using just "Save" not "Save As" or "Save Copy In " correct ?




Also to clarify when you first launch PT is the destination showing in your Dashboard the correct destination where your session folders are stored ? Red arrow below.

(Hint when you use Imgur for screen shots for the code select size "Large Thumbnail " rather than Original and they will not appear so big on this page )
