Re: creating a new pro tools session opens 4 empty folders on my desktop
Shouldn't really matter, as he has "Prompt for location" selected.

Perhaps having that as the Location, has somehow corrupted the storage locations protocol and Prompt for Location is not actually working ? She needs to see if PT is creating a main session folder and if it actually being located where she selects from the the "prompt" ? And Are you saying she should not just start over by trashing preferences ? That has usually solved most issues for me ??

There's nothing wrong with your New Session dialog - "Prompt for Location" is set, so it will always ask where to put the session.

Re: creating a new pro tools session opens 4 empty folders on my desktop
I also noticed "Interleaved" selected in the New Session Dialog box.
Are we interleaving these days? I thought this was not desirable.... Dominic

Re: creating a new pro tools session opens 4 empty folders on my desktop
Totally depends on workflow - personally I find it easiest to use interleaved but some delivery chains (post / film) may prefer mono only. For a music workflow interleaved is usually preferable and how most of the music world works.

and would still change that.. Because it is still curious why only the sub folders are showing on the desk top and not the main session folder ?

Re: creating a new pro tools session opens 4 empty folders on my desktop
Hi!
thank you all so much for your help! Rich, your spot was the solution but I had to save changes on the session before it would save the changes, which seems obvious now but took me a while! again thank you all for your help and I sure have learnt a lot from this post! cheers! |
