Files are placed on the wrong drive
Hi,
Background: C: is my hard drive, and F: is the default drive to store my Pro Tools files when starting a new session. Situation: Every time I open Pro Tools, the following folder/file is always placed on my USB thumb drive which is G:. G:\Digidesign Databases\Unicode\volume.ddb Any idea what is causing this to happen and how I can fix it? Thanks, Jeff |

Re: Files are placed on the wrong drive
The database files get created on any and every drive that is attached to the computer, but they have nothing to do with audio files or the function of Pro Tools. If your audio files are ending up in the wrong place, read on. Otherwise, don't sweat the little database folders(you can delete them all day long without issue, but they will likely reappear on the next bootup). When you create a new session, are you creating it ON your recording drive, or are you opening a template session and then saving it as your new project? I always create new sessions on the drive I want to use for recording, and my audio always goes into the correct folder in the correct session folder. The only time I get screwed up is if I either open a template session, or if I import session data from another session and forget to actually copy the audio files(so the session is looking at the folder where the originals are, instead of the folder for that particular session). You could also choose to set the wrong drive(s) to T or P only so that can't record audio.

Re: Files are placed on the wrong drive
I feel your pain. Attaching and removing drives with PT running is always a crap shoot, so I try to never do that. About half the time, either PT will not see a drive that was connected AFTER PT is open, and half the time, removing the drive causes PT to stall. We just need to be careful on that one
