Disappearing bounced files in PT LE

penguin · 2nd May 2005, 01:29 AM

Sometimes when I bounce to an external hard drive, the file will disappear after its finished with the bouncing process. This happens about once every 10-15 tracks that i bounce. The file will show up in the folder during the bouncing process, but when its finished I select the file and it disappears! Hmph! Has anyone had this problem before??

I'm on a Mac, Digi002R and PT LE 6.9. Thanks!

Make sure you take the time to verify the destination for the bounce: often, it will want to put them into the audio files folder, which I find is a headache. I almost always make a folder for mixes/bounces/etc., and verify all destined files go there - I hate searching for them, so this always works for me...

Never heard of the 'disappearing' bounce tho - maybe a bug for PT 6.9?

best of luck!

this is a new problem: when bouncing to disk, the bounced file exists for a moment, then it disappears. I can grab (drag) the file in the first few seconds after it is bounced and drag it to the desktop - but if I wait to long - the file can't be found (doesn't exist). I've tried to bounce to several locations. Sometimes, it never shows up in a location, other times, it does.

I'm on a G5, mbox, le 6.4, lacie firewire hd.

Sounds like a harddisk problem. We've had something similar with files dissapearing on our server.

Clear the disk. Format and see if it still occurs.

I had this problem on a new iMac 2.0, using an mBox and a 16 track session with a ton of edits across all tracks.

Thousands of edits.

No errors at the end of the bounce, but there was no output file.

Carried it over to the TDM setup to bounce it and it worked fine.

Tiger and 6.9.2, and quite possibly using the iMacs internal drive, although I can't remember.

It was repeatable though.
