Default loss of audio files

digi002
imac2007
4gb ram
os10.6.8
pt8.0.5

Some of the audio is gone from a song. not the whole lot, but say 70 % of the bass, some of the electric, some of the fades. enoughs gone for me to have to retrack the whole song again anyway.

I have no idea why this has happened. I reinstalled os10.6.8 after erasing everything from the HD. reinstalled pt8. I saved this session on multiple drives and on each drive the same audio is missing.

Anyone have any idea?
love tryna be creative and spend months tryna fix computers.

you had some audio on your system drive?
show the full file path in the Regen List, I'll bet it is looking to the drive you wiped

Good thought, could be something with the drive allocation. He says he backed everything up, it could just be a matter of moving all the files back to the drive in question.

im currently recording to the system drive. i know its a no no, but im having better luck with it than the new owc ssd which is causing some weird issues.
the strange thing is that ive got about 3/4 drives that im backing all this stuff onto. its simultaneously wiping some audio on ALL drives. weird.
This morning for eg i tracked some bass that mysteriously vanished. all was well. just opened up that session and that bass is gone, but this file is in the audio files folder, where as all the others that vanished are not.
So now im going to ditch this session and start a fresh 1.

also get this error sometimes when the files get lost and i have to force quit pt which means you cant save and the session is kinda stuffed.
