Please help me solve this. I get the error!-Message every time I wanna edit a recording

DJ Quien

Hey everyone! thanks for the time! I managed to fix it, I deleted every folder (made a backup beforehand) and re-route the libraries + making a new projects folder, then copied every project that I have and now everything works fine, thank you all!

donmaddonald

can you explain better your editing steps?

DJ Quien

Absolutely, thanks for the reply, so, I was recording Bass through the mic line and then editing the recordings, after changing folders of some tracks, and adding some legal but free VSTs… next day all the new recorded sounds were there, but now I can´t edit those or record new stuff, on the actual project or any other new project, I changed the folders again and makes no difference, checked all preferences and so far nothing changed either, any hints on where might I be doing something wrong?

donmaddonald

like you can't truncate, fade in and out etc..?

donmaddonald

did you try to remove those plug-ins? to see if they are the issue? you can't record even in a new project? that's odd. it never happened to me to be honest.

I am trying to think what it could be.

PK The DJ

From what you've said……………you were able to edit until you changed folders, then you couldn't edit.

What exactly did you do? What/where were the original folders, and what/where are the new folders?

It sounds like the software has become confused because you moved stuff.

donmaddonald

It wouldn't find the files when he opens the project right? @PK The DJ it shouldn't say like missing files or something like that, and he could point to the folder or something like that..

donmaddonald

actually @PK The DJ you might be right sorry, maybe it can't find the folder where to save the new edited sample, or the new recording!! you are probably right! @DJ Quien check in the settings if the selected folder is valid.

Sample edits are destructive so new files are created each time, when you get this error is it's usually because Maschine doesn't have write permissions for whatever new folder (or hard drive) you moved things too.

On Mac's you have to allow apps to write to each disc, enable Full Disc Access for the Maschine app:

BTW It's a terrible idea to go around changing locations of folders with files in it if you use custom samples or edit, just use "Save Project with Samples" to set the projects to new folders, or do it before moving.

@PK The DJ @D One, @donmaddonald, thank you all for the time, well number one the new folder is inside the projects* folder anyway as are many others which I keep under either date or style, I save the same projects with the new recordings into another folder to have those as my main focus now, the sample folders were created inside this new folder, now checking the Full Disc Access.

The main issue is not being able to record new samples for new projects either.

So, maybe I can solve the editing or something, but not being able to record again is the worst thing right now.

donmaddonald

did you try to internally sample? try to do that, just to see what happens. try to sample from a pad or group and see if the recording is working in that way.

DJ Quien

yeah nothing seems to work, I wrote an e-mail, no response yet, and somehow also can´t access the Tech services here either.

donmaddonald

it may seem drastic, but maybe uninstall and install it again?
