Any Sessions on them will first need to be copied onto a drive formatted correctly for Pro Tools - which is not necessarily the same as being formatted correctly for the computer's operating system. Transfer drives cannot be used to either play or record Pro Tools Sessions directly.
Examples include shared network drives, CD‑ROMS, and drives that are formatted in a non‑native format. Transfer (T): Pro Tools will label a drive a Transfer Drive if it isn't suitable to play back Sessions.Pro Tools categorises drives into three groups: So what's going on, and what can be done? Transfer, Playback & Record Sometimes it can be fine on one system but this message comes up on another system. "It was OK yesterday, but now I get this message when I try and open my Session” would be a typical query. Most of my clients work on the 'sneaker net' principle: for want of a proper network, they simply walk the drive from one system to another, hence the nickname 'sneaker net'! The problem seems to come up randomly as they start to work on a Session. I suspect most of you will have seen it at some point. "But it was fine last time I tried it.” One of Pro Tools' more familiar error messages.
The first problem has recently cropped up more regularly than usual for several of my clients, and it has to do with getting the message in the screenshot below.
The first, I suspect, will have affected us all at some point, and the other will be of interest to folk who provide Pro Tools systems in a shared environment. This month we're going to look at a couple of maintenance‑related issues that have been on my list to cover for a while. Does Pro Tools sometimes take an unwarranted dislike to one of your hard drives? Here's how to deal with it, and how to let non‑admin users join the Pro Tools party.
