If There’s a Problem
As mentioned above, if Auto-Tune 8 is unable
to find previously recorded audio data at the
location it expects, the Data File Management
button will flash red to alert you to this
problem. If this happens, click the button and
you will see something like this:
As you will note, the dialog includes the
location at which it expected to find the data
folder, along with the name of the folder it
expected to find there.
Find Data Folder…
Assuming that the folder hasn’t been deleted
(presumably accidentally), you will be dealing
with one of the following situations:
•
The folder was moved to a new location,
either manually or by the “Move Data
Files...” function used from another copy of
the session that pointed to the same folder.
•
The folder was renamed, again either
manually or by the “Rename Data Folder”
function used from a copy of the session
that pointed to the same folder.
•
A combination of the above two, i.e., the
folder was both moved and renamed.
In any of these cases, the solution is to point
Auto-Tune 8 at the correct folder, wherever
it is and whatever it’s currently named. To do
that:
•
Click the Find Data Folder… button. A
navigation window will appear.
•
Navigate to the correct data folder and click
Choose. An alert message will confirm that
you have selected the correct folder (or tell
you if the selected folder is not the correct
folder).
•
The correct folder location and folder
name will now be displayed in the Data File
Management dialog and all should be well.
Setup Folder Location…
If the worst has happened and the correct
data folder has actually been permanently
deleted, you will have to re-track your audio
and remake any previous edits. To do that:
•
Click the “Setup Folder Location…” button.
Dismiss the resulting alert. A navigation
window will appear.
•
Navigate to your desired location and click
Choose. An alert message will confirm that
you have set the new folder location.
•
Optionally, rename the data folder.
After either finding the existing data folder
or creating a new one, click “Close” to dismiss
the dialog and immediately save your session.
(If you close your session without saving,
your changes will not be retained the next
time you open the session you will once again
encounter the dreaded flashing red Data
Management button.)
