Audio file saving issue

[dpg4macman]

I just noticed my last couple of sessions the audio files were not saving into the session audio files folder but onto another drive into an older session. I checked the preferences and the box is checked to save audio files to session audio file folder - After scratching my head a little I opened a new test session and performed an audio test - sure enough the files were going to the wrong drive again - I went to the user and system library preference folder and deleted all MOTU related items. Opened a new blank session. performed the audio test again. Now the files are saving to the correct session folder. Opened the session I was having issues with and saved it as a template - opened a new session from the newly created template and performed the audio test again - files are saving to the incorrect drive - My conclusion is that the template or session I created the template from has a glitch - Why it is saving the audio to the incorrect drive and session folder is a mystery to me.

Has anyone else ever experienced this? Help appreciated.

What's it say under "take folder" in the Audio Monitor window?

The "Set Take Folder" option is greyed out.

Yes, it might be. From p241 DP8:
"As soon as you record-enable an audio track, Digital Performer automatically creates an audio file with a name that matches the name of the track being recorded into, followed by a take number (e.g. Guitar-3)."

The key here is record-enable. Tracks don't show up in the list until you record-enable them. You can then select the track name/names in the list and set the take folder. With nothing selected Set Take Folder is greyed. Seems a little odd to me, but that's how it works.

So, record enable the tracks you're having a problem with and see what is listed as their take folders.
