Protools Bugs

[stanonbass]

Why oh why cant you guys fix these annoying bugs? This disk allocation problem has been around since early version 7. Protools just ups and decides to spit files to random folders and drives that have nothing to do with my session. Its acting like round robin is checked and sometimes just puts them in an audio folder that a previous session was using. I trash preferences and it still does it!!!!! Its just not a good thing. Files get lost this way and its harder to back up. I see no reason why the software does this. Ya i can use session copy save as but its just a pain the rear and takes more time. Audio files should ONLY go to the audio folder in the session. If i tell it to do otherwise fine. But i like to have control of that.

Also there are bugs in 8 left over from 7.4. Like audio dropping out when fades are present. Timeline insertion follows playback start marker checking itself.

Another bug is pressing record sometimes will just play and not record. Seems random. Beat detective has weird issues with it. The dialog where it tells you its going to move the audio to a new location. Used to only happen in 7.4 when you were not snapped to grid. Now it does it when snapped to grid.

Please fix some of this stuff. Just seems like with every version new bugs get added and the old not fixed.

I think BETA should be attached to the end of every release.

That's a bug? All this time I thought it was something I was doing. Seems at some point someone mentioned a key command that was easy to trip by mistake...

It more than likely is something were doing.. you may be inadvertently hitting N at the same time you hit the space bar. I know I was.

I use "b" to separate regions and end up hitting "n" by mistake all of the time.

I was burned by this, just this week.

This problem can happen if you save the session to another drive/location.

But if you enter the disk allocation dialog and reset the paths the problem should go away.

I use PT 10 hours a day, six days a week, and I've never seen this.
