What Does This Error Message Mean?

Post by drburt2 »

Hi,

I see some ancient posts on this with no answer for me.
After working on this porject on this Mac with no updates, upgrades new software or plugins etc etc - I NOW GET AN ERROR MESSAGE everytime I open the file. (see attached screenshot)

I just saw someone else posted here recently - with no answer that applies to me. There are no plugins failing to lad at startup of DP.

A hint?: When I turn the Mixer Mode off and back on, the message reappears...haunting me...

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hmmm... DP11 here so not totally sure. I'm really not sure what that code means. Probably only MOTU knows for sure. I can't remember ever having a problem turning Mixer Mode on and off, but I should try on some projects and see.

I think it's still possible to have a plugin cause problems even if it loads at startup.

One thing you could try is sort of an old standby for DP users: create a new project and use the "Load..." command to load the chunk from your project giving you a problem into the new one and see if that helps. Many times, that will work.

That's not a hint. It's what is happening. See if you are skipping a step.
