Sound bite/project length/restriction

Post by jescoelvis »

Recently tried to import 225 minute stereo .wav (44.1/24) into a new project and regardless of dragging it into the track or trying to import it into the sound bites, I was always presented with a “Disk Is Full, Error -34” message and was disallowed importation or use. Any tips as to the limits, or where they’re mentioned in the manual appreciated.

225 minute stereo .wav (44.1/24) = 3.57 GB

It looks like DP is trying to copy that file to project directory. Check this in Preferences - General - Audio - Copy audio to project folder. Select Never and try again. Perhaps your disk is really out of space.

Yeah, it sounds like there's actually no space to me. Are you trying to save it to your hard drive or onto something else (an USB drive, an SD card)?
