Audio from my vocal tracks are weirdly absent ???

[Seafoam_Green]

PROBLEM SOLVED - it was a plugins authorization that had expired .., (sorry, i cant work out how to delete this thread?)

Guys, I'm loading up my original songs into; P.T 2021.3.1, which I recorded a few years back,
And the audio from my vocal tracks which i recorded - is strangely no longer being played in the song? (ie; i hear no audio from the vocal tracks, but i do in all the others

In troubleshooting;
- the waveform is still showing up there in the tracks
- the fader is turned up
- the output is designated to main out L/R like everything else
- nothing is being muted or soloed
- I'm not bussed out to any other tracks
- nothing seems to be out of the ordinary?

Note; this is also happening on a few different songs that I am loading up into pro tools?

Any suggestions, Guys?

PS: I've only just returned to using protools again (and computers)
after three years due to recovering from a head injury..,
- and I was quite proficient at it all before the trauma,
so please, guys; its been a hard road to climb back to where I am now and I'm still on the mend.,
so please be patient with me and keep any explanations basic and descriptive.
(Thank you kindly in advance)

Congrats on recovery! I think leaving the post up is good as it may help others that hit a similar issue. Any time audio exists, but makes no sound, there are troubleshooting methods to try, and you went thru them well. Bypassing plugins is one thing to try, and you found it Someone else might have done things in a different order, but troubleshooting is like sweeping for mines

The Pro Tools issue aside, it’s great to see the progress of your recovery from the injury. Recording and mixing is a cerebral activity, and solving the plug-in problem is a great sign.

Welcome back Mr. Green
Good to hear you're on the mend and got out of Bali away from the volcanos.
