Default Pro Tools 10.3.10 AUdio Wav Files will NOT link in Pro Tools 2019.6

Recently I purchased Pro Tools 2019.6 but before that I had been using Pro Tools 10.3.10. When I open a PT 10 session in PT 2019.6 things go as expected unless the sessions have some files named with an extra number like the following: Lead 2.dup4_03.1.wav (the .1 is the extra number).

Files named like Lead 2.dup4_03.wav link fine in Pro Tools 2019.6 but files named like Lead 2.dup4_03.1.wav will NOT link in PT 2019.6. If I try to relink the files manually, I get the following error message: “One or more files are incompatible in format, sample rate or bit depth with the audio file that you are trying to relink.” However, the session is a 24 bit 44.1 session, and the session audio wav files I am trying to link are 24 bit 44.1 file (see attached pic).

Can anybody help me understand what is going on and how to remedy this issue? I have about 75 sessions I am trying to move from Pro Tools 10.3.10 into Pro Tools 2019.6 and several have the same issue. Thanks in advance.

Apparently PT is having heartburn with that extra '.' What I would do is to replace the '.' before the 1 (extra number you call it) with an underscore. Or just leave it out altogether.

musicman691 thanks for your reply. That will be a long process for sure.



Are there any moderators watching. Should I start a Support Ticket?

i just processed 3 songs for a friend that had SDII files in it ... i still have PT10 so i did it for her ... there are not many ways to skin this cat ... do you have PT10 or know anyone that does ??? if you can Still Open PT10, then just "save copy in" with WAV or AIFF files...

hope some of this helps .. cheers john

Do you know is causing this issue? Did PT10 allow naming files in a way that is not supported in PT 2019.6?


Yes I do still have a 002 rack with PT 10. I'll give it a try and report back.

It may not be PT as such but OSX. Just throwing that out there as something to think about. Naming conventions do change.
