Default Error "Could not create new document because Assertion in '/Volumes...'"[solved]
Hi there,

When starting PT 11.3.1, I am greeted with the following error message:

Could not create a new document because Assertion in "/Volumes/Development/151228/ProTools/DFW/MacBuild/../Views/UMenu.MacOS.mm", line 1549.

Attempts to create new session once program has booted are greeted with the same error.

Have gone through the usual PT troubleshooting (trashing preferences, etc.) but to no avail.

Can anyone help a guy out?

You trashed everything using this app?

SOLUTION FOUND:

Holding down "N" key while booting. Forced Playback Engine dialogue. Changed playback engine. Error gone.

I get this occasionally but I just hit okay and try again and it works fine the second time.
